When You Need This
The longer you wait,
the worse it gets.
Most homeowner insurance policies include a mitigation duty clause — the homeowner is required to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a covered loss. Leaving a fire-damaged home open to weather and intruders can give a carrier grounds to reduce or deny supplemental claims for theft or weather intrusion. S.W.A.T. Restoration documents the securement scope — window openings covered, door frames secured, roof breaches tarped — and delivers that documentation as part of the initial mitigation report. The crew rolls same-night, not the next business morning.
Warning Signs
- Broken or burned-out windows following a structure fire
- Exterior doors compromised by fire, heat, or firefighter forced entry
- Roof damage — missing shingles, burned decking, or structural breach from the fire
- Garage doors damaged or stuck open after a fire in the garage
- Skylights or second-story windows broken during fire suppression
- Open wall sections where siding burned through or was removed for fire access
- Structure left unsecured overnight after fire department departed
- Insurance adjuster requiring documented mitigation before claim processing
Mission Operations
How we execute
from call to close.
- 01.
Dispatch
One Call. Crew Rolling Before You Hang Up.
Live dispatch answers around the clock. When you call after a fire, S.W.A.T. Restoration confirms a board-up crew is en route to Aledo or the surrounding DFW area with a target arrival under 60 minutes. No answering service, no callback window. The dispatcher captures the address, the primary breach points you can identify, and whether fire department access is still ongoing — and confirms ETA before the call ends.
- 02.
Damage Assessment
Map Every Breach Before the First Board Goes Up.
On arrival, the crew walks the exterior perimeter and documents every opening — windows, doors, roof breaches, and wall penetrations — with photos before securement begins. Interior areas that are safe to access are inspected for structural stability and secondary hazards. The assessment report is started on-site: photos, breach locations, and preliminary scope, formatted for the insurance claim.
- 03.
Window & Door Securement
Plywood Panels. Weather-Tight. Theft-Resistant.
Fire-compromised windows and door openings are secured with plywood panels cut to fit and fastened to the structural frame — not taped to the trim. Door frames that were forced open or burned are secured at the structural level. The securement is designed to hold through rain and wind, not just provide a visual deterrent. A SWAT Restoration board-up can withstand typical North Texas weather without additional reinforcement for the duration of the mitigation and repair phase.
- 04.
Roof Tarping
Covered Before the Next Rain.
Roof breaches from fire are covered with heavy-duty polyethylene tarps weighted and fastened to undamaged roof sections — not draped and left to blow off. Tarp placement considers the next rainfall forecast and the likely duration before roofing repair begins. Steep pitches and second-story sections are handled with appropriate fall-protection protocols. Roof tarp documentation is included in the mitigation report and photographed from multiple angles for the insurance file.
