Embers find the vents
first.
Embers and small flames, not the passing flame front, are the main way most homes ignite in a wildfire. Wind carries those embers into your foundation, attic, and eave vents, the openings where a home is most likely to ignite from the inside out. We screen and seal every vent to NFPA Firewise and current code, then document the work for your insurer.

90%
of home ignitions in a wildfire start with embers, per IBHS.
A vent is a hole in your fire defense.
A standard vent screen lets embers pass into your attic and crawlspace, where they land on insulation, framing, and stored items. A house can burn from the inside out hours after the flame front has moved through.
Closing the vents is the highest-value, lowest-cost hardening step a homeowner can take.

SafeHaven got us insurable. After our carrier dropped us for wildfire hazards, Zach had a plan in place fast, hit our deadline, and delivered. The team was professional, communicated well, and left the property looking great. We recommend them without reservation.
