03 Mar Learn How To Deal With Temporary Structures During A Restoration
Sometimes, serious damage to your home can lead to a chain reaction. If a roof leak is not addressed immediately, it can lead to further damage to your home.
The main reasons temporary structures are installed include safety, security, and liability.
Safety is directly related to minimizing liability. Properly constructed temporary structures protect your home from legal and financial liability in the event of an unauthorized restoration.
Temporary structures are essential to protect your property’s contents. After a disaster, the last thing you want is for your property to be stolen or cause more damage.
Board-ups or roof tarps are the most popular temporary structures. If your garage doors or walls have been damaged, you will need to board them up.
Most companies will use plywood, 2-by-4 inch lumber, bolts and latches to protect your home and contents. When your roof leaks, roof tarps can be installed to prevent any water damage to ceilings. Most water damage restoration companies are skilled enough to secure the roof with a tarp and prevent further damage.
After temporary structures have been in place, we can start work on permanent replacements. Temporary structures are essential to our goal of making you feel at ease during restoration. These aren’t pretty, but they can be used as bandages to help us fix your home.
