Signs you need emergency board-up and tarping

After a fire, an open building is exposed to weather, animals, and intruders. These are signs to secure it right away.

  • Broken or missing windows and doors

    Openings left by the fire or firefighting need boarding up to keep the property secure until repairs begin.

  • Holes in the roof

    A burned or vented roof lets rain in on the already-damaged interior and needs tarping to keep water out.

  • Exposed, unsecured rooms

    Open walls and entryways leave the home open to intruders and further loss until they are secured.

  • Rain in the forecast

    With the structure compromised, incoming weather can turn fire damage into water damage overnight.

  • An unoccupied, damaged property

    A vacant fire-damaged building is a target for theft and vandalism, so securing it protects what remains.

Seeing any of these in Indianapolis? Don't wait. Call (844) 810-6096 for a fast, no-pressure assessment.

What our emergency board-up & tarping includes

A complete, professional process from first response to final restoration.

  • Window & door board-up

    Scheduled around your household, with a clear start time and a realistic finish date.

  • Roof tarping

    Checked by the lead technician and walked with you before we call this part done.

  • Weather protection

    Carried out by qualified technicians with the commercial gear this step actually needs.

  1. Rapid Response

    A qualified technician evaluates the fire harm on arrival and walks you through what happens next.

  2. Clean & Remove

    We work room by room, hauling out the debris and wiping down the acidic soot so it can't keep corroding your home.

  3. Odor Removal

  4. Final Restoration

    From framing to the final coat of paint, our staff puts your home back together and walks the finished job with you.

Why fast action matters

Emergency Board-Up & Tarping is time-sensitive. The longer you wait, the more it spreads and the more it costs.

  • It gets worse over time

    Left untreated, the problem spreads and becomes harder and costlier to resolve.

  • Secondary damage

    Delays often lead to additional damage to materials, structure, or surrounding areas.

  • Health and safety risks

    Situations like this can carry real health or safety risks until they're properly handled.

What affects the cost of board-up

Emergency securing depends on how much is exposed. Main factors:

  • Number of openings

    How many windows, doors, and wall sections need boarding sets the materials and labor.

  • Roof tarping

    The size and pitch of any roof opening affects the tarping work needed to keep water out.

  • Access and height

    Upper floors and hard-to-reach openings take more equipment and time to secure safely.

Fire Damage in Indianapolis: What to Know

Straight answers on how fire damage restoration works, what it costs, and how insurance fits in, so you know what to expect before you call.

  • The Types of Smoke Residue

    Fires leave wet smoke, dry smoke, protein residue, or fuel-oil soot, and each one bonds to surfaces differently. Identifying the residue type is what determines the right cleaning method, because the wrong one can set a stain permanently.

  • Why Smoke Odor Lingers

    Smoke particles are small enough to penetrate drywall, insulation, and ductwork, so a room can look clean yet still smell. Surface cleaning isn't enough. Thermal fogging, ozone, and hydroxyl treatment neutralize the odor at its source.

  • Why Board-Up Can't Wait

    Open windows and a damaged roof expose your property to weather, theft, and further loss, and insurers expect you to mitigate. Emergency board-up and roof tarping in the first hours protects the structure while the cleanup is planned.

  • Soot Is Acidic, and Time Matters

    Within hours, acidic soot begins to etch glass, corrode metal and electronics, and stain walls. The sooner soot and smoke residue are removed, the more of your home and belongings can be saved.

  • One Team: Cleanup Through Rebuild

    We handle the whole recovery under one roof, covering board-up, soot and smoke cleanup, deodorization, and full structural rebuild back to pre-loss condition, so you never have to hand off to a second contractor mid-project.

What our crew handles

Our Fire Damage Services in Indianapolis

Full-service fire recovery for every kind of fire, residential and commercial, from emergency board-up and soot removal to complete rebuild.

  • Smoke Damage Cleanup

    A house fire feels sudden. The smoke damage does not stop there. Greasy smoke film stains walls and ceilings the longer it sits, and pre-1960s interiors in Irvington, Fountain Square, and Haughville hold that residue in plaster and original woodwork longer than newer drywall ever would.

    How our Smoke Damage Cleanup works

  • Soot Removal

    Soot's mild acidity starts pitting metal and etching glass within hours of a fire. Original hardware, glass, and trim in the historic-district housing stock are especially vulnerable. Our crew uses dry sponging first, then wet soot cleaning where dry methods alone cannot lift the residue.

    More about Soot Removal

  • Fire Damage Cleanup

    Char, ash, and firefighting water are still sitting in the structure after the flames go out. In an Indiana cold snap, that suppression water has to come out before it freezes into a second problem. Our crew clears debris and stabilizes the site so repair work can start.

    How our Fire Damage Cleanup works

  • Smoke Odor Removal

    Covering smoke odor with a spray only buys a few hours before it resurfaces. We neutralize it at the source instead, using thermal fogging, ozone treatment, hydroxyl generators, and HEPA air scrubbing. A house sealed tight for winter holds furnace-fire odor far longer than a fire that happens in summer.

    See Smoke Odor Removal details

  • Structural Repair & Rebuild

    Reaching pre-loss condition takes real framing, drywall, and finish work, not a rushed patch and paint job. A 1910s Butler-Tarkington or Irvington build gets matched trim and window casing so the repaired room actually blends with the rest of the house, not just a new patch of drywall.

    How our Structural Repair & Rebuild works

  • Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

    We inventory everything before it leaves your property, pack it out, and clean it off-site in secure storage while repairs and odor treatment finish. Keepsakes, furniture, and electronics stay itemized start to finish, then get packed back in once the home is verified clean and the smell is gone.

    More about Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

  • Fire & Water Damage Restoration

    Water from the firefight does not simply evaporate, and materials left soaked too long begin growing mold. Our Marion County crew extracts water and structurally dries the property first, then moves into soot and smoke work, so old basements and wet framing do not sit waiting on a second company.

    How our Fire & Water Damage Restoration works

  • Commercial Fire Damage Restoration

    We scale crews to the size of the loss so downtime stays short for a business. Fountain Square and Broad Ripple Avenue storefronts and Mile Square offices get priority scheduling, insurer coordination, and after-hours work so the doors can reopen sooner than waiting on one small crew.

    See Commercial Fire Damage Restoration details

  • Puff-Back Cleaning

    An oil-furnace puff-back can blanket a room in oily black soot within minutes. Natural gas heat is standard across Indianapolis, so oil-furnace puff-backs are uncommon here, but when one happens our crew uses degreasing agents built specifically for oily soot, not standard smoke-cleaning methods.

    More about Puff-Back Cleaning

  • Wildfire Smoke Remediation

    Wildfire smoke remediation is a service we offer nationally for homes affected by ash and smoke drift from a regional wildfire. Our approach covers exterior ash removal, HEPA filtration, and full interior deodorization. Indianapolis itself carries no wildfire exposure, this capability serves properties elsewhere that do.

    How our Wildfire Smoke Remediation works

  • Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning

    Forced-air heating is standard across Indianapolis housing regardless of a home's age or ZIP code. Smoke pulled into those ducts during a furnace or kitchen fire keeps recirculating soot and odor all season long. Our crew runs duct and vent soot cleaning paired with HEPA filtration to stop it.

    More about Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning

  • Chimney Fire Cleanup

    Wood-burning fireplaces sit in Indianapolis's historic-core stock, Irvington at roughly 78 percent pre-1960 housing, Haughville's 1895 to 1942 district, Fountain Square's 1870s to 1920s core. Not every home has one, but we clean the creosote and soot a chimney fire leaves. Skip relighting until a professional has checked the flue.
