Broken Window and Door Board Up in Cannon Falls
One broken opening on a building that is otherwise sound.
Not every call follows a disaster. A single broken pane, a forced side door, a slider that failed in the cold — the building is fine, but it cannot be left open overnight. That is this service.
What this service covers
- Boarding of a single broken window or glass panel
- Securing of a forced, damaged, or missing door
- Securing of sliding doors and patio glazing
- Boarding of basement and egress windows
- Temporary securing until glass or hardware is replaced
Common warning signs
- Broken glass with the opening still exposed
- A door that will not close, latch, or lock
- Frame damage around a forced entry point
- An opening that cannot be closed before dark
Typical causes
- Break-in or attempted forced entry
- Vandalism and thrown-object impact
- Failed or damaged locks, hinges, and frames
- Accidental impact from equipment, livestock, or vehicles
What to do first
- File a police report first if entry was forced
- Photograph the opening and the frame damage
- Leave broken glass in place until it is documented
- Send the request with the size and location of the opening
What a provider may assess
- Size and location of the opening
