Safely Hung Plywood to Protects Contents and Structure From Outdoor Elements

A recent fire in the City of Waukesha, WI started when a tenant in an apartment building was smoking on his wood balcony.  The fire completely burned the exterior door and sections of the interior wall in the bedroom.  In order for the flames to be put out, the fire firefighters had to quickly tear down the door frame and header and remove sections of drywall to access the insulation. 

By the time the fire was out, the inside of this room was completely exposes to the outdoor elements.  An emergency board-up was needed in order to prevent moisture from outside (rain/snow) and animals from entering the building.  The property owner called on SERVPRO of SW Waukesha County to assist her.  The after photo shows the same door way with a sheet of playwood safely hung in place to help protect the building.  This is an important service to provide when your personal belongings are at risk.
