OUR BOARDING UP & TARPING PROCESS
Emergency Response
Comprehensive Damage Assessment
The first step is a thorough inspection of the property to assess the extent of the damage. Restoration professionals identify broken windows, damaged walls, roof punctures, or other areas that require boarding up or tarping to prevent further damage.
Safety Precautions
Before proceeding with any work, safety protocols are followed to ensure the area is secure for both the restoration team and the property owners. This may include shutting off utilities such as electricity or gas to prevent any additional hazards.
Debris Removal / Clean Up
Any debris, such as broken glass, branches, or roofing material, is cleared from the work area. This ensures safe access to damaged parts of the structure and prevents further damage from falling or loose debris.
Boarding Up Windows and Doors
Broken windows and doors are securely boarded up using plywood or other durable materials. This prevents further weather damage and secures the property from trespassers, animals, or additional debris.
Tarping the Roof
For roof damage, heavy-duty tarps are placed over the affected areas to prevent water from entering the home. The tarps are securely fastened with nails or anchor boards to ensure they stay in place, even in strong winds or rain.
Sealing Gaps and Openings
Any gaps, holes, or other exposed areas are sealed with tarps, boards, or other temporary materials to prevent moisture, pests, or intruders from entering the home. This also helps protect the interior from further deterioration.
Inspection and Adjustments
After boarding up and tarping, the team conducts a final inspection to ensure everything is properly secured. Adjustments are made to ensure all materials are tightly in place and the property is fully protected.
Restoration Planning
With the property secured, the next step involves planning for long-term repairs. A detailed restoration plan is created, outlining the work needed to bring the property back to its pre-damage condition.
Documentation and Insurance Processing
Photos and notes are taken throughout the process to document the damage, repairs, and preventative measures. This is essential for insurance claims and future restoration work.
