When Canmore Properties Need Emergency Board Up

Even a small opening can allow mountain weather and unwanted access into the property.

Emergency board up may be needed after a fire, break-in, vehicle impact, vandalism, fallen debris, damaged roofing, or shattered glass. In Canmore, freezing temperatures and wind-driven snow or rain can quickly turn an exposed opening into a larger interior loss.

If it is safe, take photos and keep people away from broken glass or unstable materials. The next priority is securing the opening before the building is left unattended.

Who We Help in Canmore

We help property owners and managers protect residential and commercial buildings after unexpected damage.

Homeowners may need board up support after a storm, fire, or forced entry. Property managers and condominium representatives may call when a tenant unit, common area, or vacant property needs to be secured. Businesses and accommodation operators may need help protecting damaged doors, windows, and entrances.

Emergency board up is more than placing plywood over an opening. It is an important mitigation step that helps control access, limit weather exposure, and prepare the property for restoration.

A Careful Approach Around Damaged Property

Emergency securement must account for broken materials, unstable openings, and conditions around the building.

Our response crew assesses the exposed areas before beginning the board up. The team looks for broken windows, damaged doors, roof openings, unsafe access points, and signs that the property may need additional mitigation.

Openings are boarded or temporarily protected where appropriate. Photos and notes are collected to record the condition of the site and the work completed.

Our Emergency Board Up Process

The immediate goal is to secure the property and reduce the risk of additional damage.

The process begins with a site assessment. We identify exposed openings, damaged entry points, broken materials, and areas where weather or unauthorized access could create further problems.

The crew then secures accessible openings and may add temporary weather protection where needed. Once the site is protected, we document the work and discuss any water mitigation, fire restoration, structural repair, or cleanup that may be required.

Insurance Documentation and Next Steps

Prompt action can help demonstrate that reasonable steps were taken to protect the property after a loss.

Insurance policies commonly require property owners to take reasonable measures to prevent further damage. Coverage depends on the policy and the cause of the loss, so property owners should also contact their insurer or adjuster.

Nonstop Restoration documents the board up with photos and service notes for the restoration file. If additional damage is present, our team can help identify the next services needed to move recovery forward.
