Immediately following a fire, one of the most important services provided by a fire restoration service company is to board up the affected premises. Proper fire recovery depends on this process, not only to ensure that the fire clean up goes smoothly, but that the structure is protected against the elements and vandalism. Due to the fire repression efforts, it’s also important during the board up process to drill small holes in the sheathing to allow proper airflow to avoid any water damage and any subsequent mold.
