The storm tore a section of shingles off the roof, and wind-driven rain poured into the attic for hours. Now the insulation is soaked, the bedroom ceiling has a brown stain spreading across it, and more rain is in the forecast. Storm water damage comes from above, and the first job is keeping more of it from getting in.

After a big storm, every contractor's phone rings at once, and out-of-town crews start knocking on doors. A Water Damage is a free referral service that connects you with independent, licensed and insured contractors near Lake Placid who handle emergency tarping, drying, and interior repairs.
