With the ongoing Atlantic Hurricane Season, there is always the possibility of sustaining property damage from severe storms, heavy winds and flooding. These pose potential problems to every business owner, as they could mean losses in revenue, thousands of dollars in repair, and even a halt in business operations.
When a commercial building has sustained deep and extensive damage from a disaster, leaving it exposed makes it susceptible to further damages and longer downtime. The building must be secured and stabilized immediately to protect it until it is rebuilt, necessitating emergency board-up services.
What is Emergency Board-Up Service?
After a disaster, broken windows and doors, damaged hinges and knocked-down walls all provide easy entrance to unwanted visitors such as insects, animals and thieves. Tarping and board-up services are intended to close any openings to your property following disasters like fires, hurricanes and flooding, protecting it from further damage.
Why Bother With Board-ups and Tarp Overs?
Risk of loss of insurance coverage
- Most insurance carriers require board-up and tarp over services after a disaster in order for you to be eligible for property insurance coverage.
- This is because the faster board-up and tarping is done after the damage has occurred, the more likely will additional damage be prevented.
Risk of further damage
- Without tarping and board-up, holes in the roof and walls can allow damaging elements such as the wind, water, animals and thieves inside your facility.
- If this happens, it will cause more damage to your property and increase your repair bill.
Risk of additional property loss
- If thieves or vandals enter your facility, they could cause additional damage or remove items from the inside, access information and destroy or steal your property, such as electronics, appliances, HVAC system, plumbing pipes, fixtures, and more that could be taken for scrap.
Risk of liability
- If an individual enters your facility and gets injured, you could be liable for their injuries. To prevent this, you would need professional tarping and board-up service.
