The First Hours After a Fire
Once the flames are out and the trucks have gone, the recovery has barely begun for many property owners in Monee, IL. Smoke residue begins staining walls and fixtures almost immediately, and firefighting water soaks into drywall at the same time. Open roof sections can leave a building exposed to weather and theft.
For this reason speed matters so much. Most insurance policies require property owners to protect the property following a loss, and board-up and roof tarping is often the first step on a fire claim.
