The Importance of Emergency Board-Up Services
When you think of natural disaster mitigation, you might think of picking up tree limbs or dealing with excess water.

If a tree damages the roof or breaks windows, or a car hits the side of the house, you’ll need board-up services right away to prevent further damage.
Why Emergency Board-Ups
There are many reasons to board up a home or business after a disaster, but these three are the most important:
- Protection from the elements. During a disaster, your home or business can take quite a beating from high winds, heavy rains and debris. Broken windows, damaged roofs and walls can let in rain, snow and wind to cause more damage to your interior and its contents.
Water buildup can ruin flooring and carpet as well as damage electronics. MoldMold is a type of fungus that grows in damp or humid conditi... More begins growing within just a few days, causing even more damage. - Protection from animals. A wild animal doesn’t need much room to squeeze inside, so even a small broken window can let in unwanted guests. Dogs, raccoons, rats and other pests can wreak havoc inside a building. Not only will they track dirt everywhere, but they’ll tear up furnishings, urinate and defecate anywhere they can.
- Protection from vandals. One sad fact of human nature is that even after the worst storms, there are those who will take advantage and help themselves. At best, they’ll do more damage by breaking things and spray painting walls. At worst, they’ll steal anything they can lay their hands on – electronics, money, and artwork to name a few. The building will be unoccupied at the time, and security equipment may be damaged or the power can be out, so they may get away free and clear.
