If you’ve noticed some serious damage to your home or business and you’re wondering if you can ‘get it fixed, don’t worry. Board-Up service isn’t as complicated as it sounds. If a tree fell on your roof, broke a window, damaged the floor, or damaged a power line, you’ll need a board-up service as soon as possible to avoid further damage. In this article, we’ll discuss the most common reasons for needing emergency repairs as well as the importance of board-up service.
Reasons to have Board Up Services
Making an emergency board up for your home or office is vital to protecting your property from immediate damage. Discuss an emergency board up an arrangement with your household just in case an accident strikes. Keeping emergency contact details such as your phone or wallet in a secure place such as your purse or desk. This is a very good idea in case of flood, fire, or other natural disasters.
Preventive measure
Whether you’re a business owner or homeowner, protecting your investment is important. Many homeowners opt for the cheapest solution, which is to tear down the shingles and replace them. This will save you the most money but will also be the most labour-intensive option. While it may seem less drastic to replace the roof on your home rather than shingle your roof, doing so can leave you with an unstable building and expose you to other dangers, such as leaks. A better option is the board-up service, which ensures that your home remains structurally sound and protects you from other dangers.
Storm Damage
If a storm blows your windows out, your home is now exposed to the elements. More water damage is likely if the severe weather picks up again. Boarded up windows keep the rain out to help ease your recovery process. Storms also bring forth many other types of problems that should be considered. Are you at risk for electrocution if a tree falls on you? Are you at risk of being blinded by flying glass if there is a lightning strike? These are just some of the situations that could arise. If you know a storm is going to affect your home, be sure to take precautions to protect yourself.
Insurance eligibility
You should also check to see if your home insurance policy covers damages caused by a Board Up. If your policy does, make sure you have a copy of this coverage in your possession. You should always have a copy on hand because you never know when a Board Up will occur. In the event of a Board-up occur, you should call the Insurance Company right away and the Company will send someone out to assess the damages.
Once the insurance adjuster has inspected your building and you have a written account of the damages, you should have a written report from the Insurance adjuster. He/She will let you know what the final cost of replacing everything will be. In many situations, Insurance Companies offer to rebuild your house and fix any damaged areas at no additional costs. Of course, you should discuss this with your Insurance agent before proceeding.
Keep intruders out
People become desperate if their homes are destroyed during a natural disaster. Passersby who see your broken windows may take this as an invitation to help themselves to your belongings. Boarded up windows increase the security factor until you can have the broken windows replaced.
