We are trusted leaders in fire damage restoration services in San Diego County!

With all the rain we have received in San Diego County this year, you can be sure we will have plenty of vegetation fuel for wildfires this year. Our teams in Otay Mesa and San Ysidro respond to fire damage emergencies each year and offer these tips from the National Fire Protection Association for making your home and neighborhood safer from wildfire.

Action Items to Improve Your Home’s Survivability:

• REMOVE leaves, pine needles, and other flammable material from the roof, gutters, and on and under the deck to help prevent embers from igniting your home
• SCREEN areas below decks and porches with 1/8” wire mesh to help prevent material from accumulating underneath
• COVER exterior attic and soffit vents with 1/8” wire mesh to help prevent sparks from entering your home
• ENCLOSE eaves to help prevent ember entry
• INSPECT shingles or roof tiles. REPLACE missing shingles or tiles. COVER ends of tiles with bird stops or cement to help prevent ember penetration during a wildfire.
