The term "board-up" may have been thrown around a few times by the insurance company and adjuster. You may have even heard it said by the firefighters. The term relates to securing your home after it has been damaged by fire.

Covering the Openings to your Home

Your home will have windows, doors, and even parts of the roof missing after a fire damage. The openings are usually manmade by the firefighters to help them ventilate the house while they fight to extinguish the flames. However, once the fire is out your home is open to the elements and looters. If you home is uninhabitable you need to have the services of SERVPRO of Northeast Dallas. We will secure your home using plywood and roof tarps. The security of your home is a vital part of mitigating the damage done by the blaze.
