Emergency & Board Up Services
When disaster strikes, your building needs protection fast. Fire, water, natural disaster, vandalism, and burglary all can leave your structure damaged in a manner inviting further harm. At Property Damage Specialists, we will arrive on the scene within an hour and secure your property using tested and proven methods.
Types of Board Up:
Fire Damage
After a fire, boarding up the property is key to preventing unauthorized access. Fire damage may leave your house or place of business open to the weather and unauthorized access. This isn’t just an unsafe situation. Property that’s open to the environment invites further damage and theft, including water damage, mold, and arson. In fact, if your property has been the subject of serious damage, your insurance company will likely require a measure of security in order to protect its value.
Hiring Property Damage Specialists for an emergency board-up keeps vandals, criminals, and wildlife from entering the area while you prepare the building for re-occupancy. An emergency board up also protects you from legal liability, ensuring that you are not held liable for harm suffered by trespassers who enter the building without authorization.
As a full-service property damage remediation and restoration firm, one call to Property Damage Specialists will take care of everything you need to restore your property after a fire. As well as a board up, we will clean, restore, and rebuild your building to better than original condition if you want us to. If necessary we will move out the building contents to a secure storage facility and restore item by item everything salvageable.
If your home or office has been damaged by fire, even a few hours can open you to looting and further damage. Call us now so we can board up your building and devise a recovery and restoration strategy that fits your needs.
Break-ins
Commercial and residential break-ins can leave glass storefronts shattered, windows broken, and doors cracked. The only thing worse than suffering a burglary is suffering several in a row. Call us immediately after your burglary, regardless of the time of day, and we will be on site within an hour preparing to secure your property against further theft. Boarding up your front door, storefront, patio doors, or windows are a key way of preventing further loss.
For store-owners, board-ups after a break-in are particularly important. The tempered glass used in glass doors and windows usually takes a day or more to replace. Without a board up in the meantime, your store is an easy target for looters and criminals.
As well as Board Ups, we will also clean up the damage and broken glass left behind by the criminals. We are full general contractors and if you desire we can arrange to repair and restore your property to its original condition. You will not have to find a second or third company to do the work — leave it to us and we will take care of the job.
Vacant Property
Vacant property is at constant risk from trespassers and criminals. A vacant building is an attractive target for metal thieves, who may seek to remove plumbing fixtures, air conditioners, electrical wiring, and other sources of scrap metal to sell and turn a profit. Drug users may also seek out your building as a place to take drugs. Vacant property used for drug taking soon accumulates drug paraphernalia, police raids, and may be the site of fires.
Property Damage Specialists will board up your property so that it will remain secure even without your presence.
