Emergency and temporary repairs you can do in the event of a large fire loss or water damage claim

  • Board up windows and cover openings in the roof and exterior surfaces to prevent additional damage from wind, water, animals and other causes.
  • Dry out, clean and disinfect the building with extractors, pumps, high speed fans and dryers. Clean and sanitize materials and equipment.
  • Set up temporary electric, plumbing and heating facilities.
  • If there is standing water, the electricity should be shut off. The association may require a professional to do this.

Special Notes

  • Make sure that the area in which the loss originated remains intact so a cause and origin expert can inspect it, if needed.
  • Items removed from a unit should be set aside for an adjuster to inspect.
  • It is helpful to have the association’s contractor inspect the loss with the adjuster.
