Winter board up measured to survive a snow week, with the surviving structure's heat and water protected in the same mobilization.
Board up in Pontiac is winter board up. A fire that opens a house in January admits sub zero air and pipe freezing to the fire damage within hours, so the emergency scope here is sealing against weather and securing against entry as one job, with the heat and water situation of the surviving structure assessed in the same visit. Openings are measured and covered to a standard that survives a lake effect snow week, tarping where the roof is involved, and the photographs before and after are filed for the claim as mitigation evidence.
Board up is the one fire job that should never wait until tomorrow. Insurers expect the property to be protected from further damage, and an unsecured home after a fire is a known target. If the fire department has released the home, this call can be made the same night.
📞 PLACEHOLDERRestoration scoped in three ledgers for an older city: the fire's damage, the mitigation, and the house's own century, separated from the first estimate.
The heating season specialty: oily duct distributed soot cleaned dry first, house wide, with the furnace serviced and its record filed before it runs again.
Smoke cleanup that maps construction before chemistry: plaster porosity, lath gaps, and balloon cavities read as the reservoirs they are.
Dry first soot work sorted by Pontiac's surfaces, with electronics and furnace surfaces triaged early against the acid clock.
