Securing & Preservation

Property Securing & Vacant-Property Protection

The first 72 hours after a property goes vacant is when most losses happen — theft, squatters, weather. DPI secures the asset fast, documents the condition, and hands you a set of keys plus lockbox codes the same day.

Lock changes & rekeys

Full lock replacement or rekey on every exterior door, HUD-style knob-and-deadbolt sets, and a matched lockbox with a new code delivered to your team.

Emergency board-ups for broken windows and forced doors, tarped roof coverings, and secure boarding to code so squatters can't get in and the city can't cite you.

Ongoing vacant-property monitoring

Recurring drive-bys and interior monitoring on request — photo evidence of every visit, immediate notice of any break-in, damage, or occupancy issue.
