Board Up Services

Immediately following a fire, one of the most important services provided by a fire restoration service company is to board up the affected premises. Proper fire recovery depends on this process, not only to ensure that the fire clean up goes smoothly, but that the structure is protected against the elements and vandalism. Due to the fire repression efforts, it’s also important during the board up process to drill small holes in the sheathing to allow proper airflow to avoid any water damage and any subsequent mold.

When damage occurs, few people are in the right frame of mind to take additional precautionary measures to protect their property. AZTEC provides Site Stabilization, often referred to as emergency shoring—placing extra posts up for reinforcement, bracing a property so no additional damage occurs and stabilizing the site for those who will need to go through the site performing assessment and restoration activities. AZTEC, Board-Up services help protect salvageable personal property from intruders as well as minimize the owner’s liability in a case where an intruder or curious neighborhood child could be hurt on the property.
