Contractors Urged to Become Stormseal® Certified for Hurricane Laura Response

The innovative storm protection solution heat shrinks to damaged structures, providing superior protection over flapping tarps that lead to additional damage.

Stormseal, the game-changing storm response solution that provides powerful protection to homes and buildings until permanent repairs can be made, is urging contractors who service areas ravaged by Hurricane Laura to become Stormseal-certified in order to protect the homes and businesses in those areas.

“The extent of property damage caused by Hurricane Laura cannot be temporarily repaired with flimsy tarps,” said Matthew Lennox, CEO of Stormseal. “Contractors should seek a solution like Stormseal that shrink wraps to the structure and seals it to keep rain out, preventing further damage for up to a year or more.”

With repair work likely backlogged for months, contractors won’t have the time or resources to continually return to damaged properties where tarps are blowing off or flapping in the wind. Stormseal eliminates callbacks by sealing itself around damaged roofs and walls to provide unsurpassed temporary protection from the elements until permanent repairs can be made.

“When Hurricane Michael slammed into Mexico Beach, Florida, it was months until damaged homes could be repaired,” said Lennox. “Stormseal-certified contractors made those homes 100 percent watertight and prevented further damage. Residents of hard-hit Louisiana communities deserve that same level of protection.”

Stormseal has protected more than 4,000 properties in the United States and over 9,000 nationwide. Waterproof, able to withstand hail and 100 mile per hour winds, Stormseal is the smart choice for temporary protection.
