Quick answer

Vacant properties are targets for theft and weather damage, and fire makes both worse. Securing the building quickly protects the asset and reduces liability. Call (833) 917-4160 to reach a local company that can board up, secure and clean fire damaged vacant property.

Why vacant properties need fast action

  • No occupant to notice weather leaks or trespassers
  • Open windows and doors invite theft and vandalism
  • Utilities may be off, which affects drying and safety
  • Local ordinances may require owners to maintain vacant buildings

What securing includes

  • Board up of windows and doors, with locks or secure panels
  • Roof tarping and temporary weather protection
  • Fencing, signage and lighting where needed
  • Removal of dangerous debris
  • Photo documentation and condition reports

Cleanup and next steps

After the property is secure, owners decide whether to clean, repair, sell or demolish. A company can provide a condition report, a scope and an estimate to support that decision. Some cities require notices or permits for vacant or fire damaged buildings, so check local rules.

Who calls

Callers include owners, lenders, asset managers, property preservation vendors and contractors who manage construction sites. Tell the operator about ownership, access and whether utilities are on.

REO, foreclosed and construction sites

Foreclosed property fire clean up, REO fire damaged home preservation and bank owned property smoke mitigation start with securing the building and documenting conditions, then choosing between cleaning, repair or disposal. A vacant building fire board up service, real estate asset fire cleanup and construction site fire cleanup share the same needs: access authorization, a written scope and clear photographs. A site manager fire damage securement plan covers fencing, lighting and access control.

Frequently asked questions

Who can authorize work on a vacant property?

The owner or an authorized representative. Have documents available if asked.

Can you clean smoke odor in an empty building?

Yes. An empty building also allows methods that need no occupants, such as ozone, under professional control.

How fast should I secure it?

As soon as the fire department allows, since exposed buildings are vulnerable.

Do construction site fires qualify?

Yes. Ask for a company that handles commercial and construction properties.
