When can I go back into my house after a fire?
Wait to go back inside until you get the go-ahead from your local fire department or another authorized professional. Unless the fire damage restoration process is complete, the risk of smoke inhalation probably still exists, and since fire and smoke weaken structures significantly, collapse can remain a possibility.
What is board-up service?
After a fire, your house could become an obvious target for theft because it is not completely secure, and you probably won’t live in it for a while. As part of the restoration process, board-up service involves boarding up your doors and windows to secure any damaged openings, protecting your home and its contents from looting and theft.
