Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Temporary Lighting FAQ
Why do I need temporary lighting after a fire?
The power is usually cut after a fire or storm. Fire investigators, insurance adjusters and contractors cannot work in the dark, so temporary lighting speeds up the inspection and the claim while keeping everyone safe.
What does temporary lighting include?
String lights and work lights run through the affected areas, placed along stairs, hallways and work zones. Wiring is routed and secured so it is not a trip hazard. Exterior lights can be added to deter trespassers.
Do you supply the generator?
Yes. If a temporary electrical hookup is not possible we bring a generator and the fuel to run it, and we can refuel it on a schedule.
How long can the temporary lighting stay in place?
As long as the inspection and repair take. We check and maintain the setup on request until permanent power is restored.
Is temporary lighting covered by insurance?
Usually yes, as part of the emergency services needed to inspect and protect the property after a covered loss. We include it on the same itemized invoice as the board up.
