Insurance coverages are constantly changing in the State of Florida. If you are not keeping up with the terms of your policy, you may be in for a rude awakening. It is especially important to review your renewal policy with your Insurance Agent every year.
During the holiday season we had an elderly client in Tampa call us with a busted pipe in the attic. Per the client, water was pouring through the ceiling fixtures, drywall and out of the walls. We sent a full crew out, prepared to take care of this type of situation. When we arrived, however, we found a whole new concern. The property owner was a hoarder. Throughout the house, she had stacked content items 3-5 feet high, with only trails to get to a portion of the house. These stacks made the rest of the house unreachable. Structural water absorption can be difficult enough to dry out. Add that to a home overflowing with content, and it can be quite overwhelming for the property owner. These difficult water remediation situations call for professionals, so everyone was happy that she called Lightning Restoration.
Lightning Restoration continues to help everyone we can with discounted CoronaVirus treatments. This past week, we received a call from a local plumbing company. Two of their top staff members tested positive for Covid-19, so the entire company shut down and sent all staff members to be tested. While waiting on results, the company contacted us to treat the office and work vehicles.
