“Home Hardening”

The process of enhancing your home and property’s resilience to wildfire. We apply our specialized fire-resistant treatment to all combustible materials, including landscaping and trees. We then take other measures to block embers from entering your home, making your property ember/fire resistant

Prepare:

The first step is to have a “Fire Hardening Assessment” done. This starts with clearing any and all dry brush, dead or dry shrubs and trees. Clear the first 5 feet around any structure from any debris and stored items. This is a defensible space and this area is referred to as “Zone Zero”.

Protect:

The Second step is to immediately apply our specialized fire-resistant treatment to all combustible materials such as wood fences, landscaping and trees. This way any embers landing on the property will extinguish. This zero-toxic product is Cal-Fire – FDA – National Forest approved and used.

The Third step is to Fire Harden your structures to keep embers from entering. Focusing on making your home resistant to embers, heat, and flames.

Fences: Treat or replace wooden fences with non-combustible materials near the home.

Vents: Install ember-resistant vents.

Gutters: Keep clear of leaves and debris; install metal guards.
