SERVPRO Helps Stockton Residents Stay Secure After Fire Damage

Stockton is a busy and famous California city of some 312,697 residents. Stockton is a natural inland seaport whose waterways have made it popular with human inhabitants for centuries. It is also the first city in California to be given a non-native and non-Spanish name.

Stockton became popular with traders during the California Gold Rush. During that period, sailors could access Stockton from the San Joaquin River, and from there, could sail to the sea. Its natural position made Stockton a famous stop for traders.

During the mid-nineteenth century, Stockton had an influx of Chinese immigrants. Gold seekers also arrived from around the globe, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Pacific Islands. It is the site of the first Sikh temple in North America. The many influences have made Stockton a fascinating and multi-cultural city, with festivals, art, restaurants, and people that reflect its diverse history. You can spot many murals on the downtown buildings that tell the story of Stockton's past.

Why Should you Board up your Home During Fire Restoration?

During a fire, your home will likely suffer some unfortunate damage. Your windows, doors, and roof might be left with holes or breaches. These openings could cause further problems:

• Your home will be vulnerable to wind and rain or sleet and snow in colder weather.
• Animals and birds such as squirrels, rats, or birds might enter your home and nest in the attic.
• Vandals or opportunistic burglars can enter your house.

Call SERVPRO immediately after fire-fighters leave your home. We can take care of boarding up the doors and windows. We can also place tarps on the roof and deal with any health and safety issues such as sharp debris, broken glass, or unstable floors.
