Fire Restoration
At Monument Home Builders, we create homes that are not only beautiful but also defendable against wildfires.
Our Projects that Survived the Palisades Fire
Our proven approach combines meticulous lot evaluation, strategic landscaping, advanced fire protection systems, and fire-resistant construction techniques. Here’s how we achieve this:
ASSESSING THE LOT
Every property is unique, and the first step in our process is to evaluate the lot’s characteristics. This assessment allows us to tailor our fire protection plan to the specific needs of your property, maximizing the effectiveness of our strategies.
FUEL MITIGATION
Wildfires thrive on combustible materials. By managing vegetation around your home, we significantly reduce the risk of ignition.
ADVANCED WATER DISPERSION SYSTEMS
A robust water system can prevent embers from igniting your home and mitigate fire spread. Our services include installing water sources, pre-wetting systems, and power backups, which are crucial when city services can't respond quickly enough.
FIRE RESISTANT CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
The materials used to construct your home play a critical role in fire defense. We prioritize fire-resistant materials and building techniques to mitigate your risks.
VENTILATION PROTECTION
Vents are a major vulnerability during wildfires. To protect your home, we install specialized vents with intumescent coatings that seal when exposed to high heat, preventing embers from entering crawlspaces or attics.
INTERIOR FIRE SAFETY
Inside the home, we enhance fire safety by installing a dual-head fire sprinkler system for rapid suppression of internal fires and backup generators to maintain critical infrastructure.
ADDITIONAL LAYERS OF FIRE PROTECTION
To further enhance the safety and resilience of your home, we incorporate advanced systems and options that provide an extra layer of defense against wildfires. These innovative measures add flexibility and adaptability to our approach, ensuring that every home is fortified to its fullest potential.
PHOSPHATE DELIVERY SYSTEM
We can install a phosphate-based fire retardant delivery system, similar to those used in aerial firefighting. These systems are powered by compressed air and strategically placed dispersion heads to deliver the fire retardant efficiently around the property.
FIRE RETARDANT APPLICATION SYSTEMS
Applying fire retardant directly to the home and surrounding areas can offer significant protection. These systems allow homeowners to apply fire-retardant materials quickly and effectively during an emergency.
PRIVATE FIREFIGHTING SERVICES
We can also recommend contracting with a private firefighting service to provide on-demand fire protection for on-site defense. We use advanced delivery systems and provide integrated support to maximize your systems' efficiceny.
