Avoid getting ripped off after Hurricane Isaac


How Can Homeowners Avoid Getting Ripped Off After Hurricane Isaac?

How to Protect Yourself from Getting Ripped Off after a Storm?

What special questions should you ask repair specialists who are performing storm damage?
How can you ensure that the professional you’re choosing will work with your insurance?
Should you be wary of service companies that come knocking as soon as the storm is over?
Are local companies the best way to go even if they can’t get to you as soon as others?
What should homeowners look for to determine if a company might have poor service or a history of fraudulent repairs?

Isaac has been upgraded to Hurricane and is headed for the US coast right for the state of Louisiana.  The front side of the storm has already dropped several inches of rain, the eye will pass through and the back side of the storm will dump several inches more.  We are in Wichita, KS and preparing to team up with local vendors to serve clients in Louisiana.  We will work under local ServiceMaster assisting them with whatever they need in restoring homes and business after they have encountered flood and or water damage.

In Wichita, KS we experience many spring storms and related damage.  I have personally experienced hail damage at my home.  With a hail storm many business send us flyer in the mail and many sent canvassing crews.  I choose not to use any that came to my door or sent me mailers.  I knew some names from the local market who I called to get advice.  I waited for things to slow down and then got the repairs done.  I was able to get a good value for the $s I was willing to pay.

In the event of a floor or a hurricane Isaac, waiting may not be an option.  My encouragement to those needing services, call on ServiceMaster for all your flood and waterdamage cleaning needs. We have standing contracts many Insurance companies to give you priority.  The vendors in our network are pre-qualified and to be a part of the group, certain standards of workmanship and insurance must be met to be a part of this elite group.

Due to the high demand for qualified contractors, sometimes it is not easy to get estimates, since contractors are performing services for existing clients.  Using a network such as ServiceMaster in Wichita, KS  ensures prices that are generally market standard by 3rd party pricing companies such as Xactware or Symbility.
