Protect Your Property With Emergency Board-up Services

As any homeowner will tell you, the safety and protection of their home is a priority. But even though you may take all the necessary precautions and install all the safeguards you can think of, the unthinkable can still happen and still damage your home.

Whether you’ve experienced a natural or man-caused disaster or accident, your home can still experience damage that would make emergency board up services necessary to protect the rest of your home.

Why You Need to Board-up Your Home

Not only are windows the most vulnerable parts of your home, there’s usually more windows than any other element. Even if you aren’t going to be living in your home while waiting for repairs, your belongings will be. Boarding them up will give them the protection they need.

Boarding up windows in the event of a break-in, accident, or natural disaster protects your home in the following ways.

1. Protection from the Elements

Mother Nature doesn’t care if your windows are out and your home and belongings are exposed to the elements. She is going to do what she is going to do. Boarding up any damaged places in your home will keep snow, rain, and other natural elements from entering your home. Not only does that save you from cleaning up a big mess, but it also protects your health. It only takes a few days for mold to begin growing. If that happens, you have a bigger and more expensive problem on your hands.

Whether you’re talking about a home you’re still living in or a vacant residence, gaping holes in your home’s defense is an open invitation to possible vandals or thieves to enter it. Boarding up your window creates a layer of protection from the human element that may be looking for an opportunity.

4. Retainment of Insurance

Read your insurance policy carefully. Most policies require that, once your home is damaged, that it is protected from incurring further damage. For example, a tree fell and it’s limb took out a window. Your insurance company should pay for the damage if you had your window boarded up right after. Not doing so may give them a reason to deny your claim.
