Location: Picatinny, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Marcus V. in Picatinny, NJ required immediate emergency board-up services after a residential fire led the fire department to break several windows for ventilation and fire suppression. Although the structural fire damage was minimal and limited to a small section of the home, the broken windows left the property exposed to weather and unauthorized entry. Our Picatinny, NJ fire damage response team arrived promptly to secure all compromised openings using fire-rated plywood and anchor systems, ensuring the home was protected while restoration planning began.

The board-up service in Picatinny, NJ included securing first-floor and second-floor windows, as well as evaluating entry points for structural integrity. While interior smoke damage was light, the emergency board-up was crucial in preventing further property loss and protecting the scene for insurance documentation. The fire damage was covered by the homeowner's insurance, which included the cost of emergency board-up as part of the initial mitigation scope. This Picatinny, NJ case highlights the importance of fast, secure board-up services after fire department response to limit secondary damage and prepare for the fire restoration process. Final site documentation was provided to assist the homeowner with the insurance claim.
