Clark Why is no one raising a stink about the issue of Flood Insurance. I come from a state where coverage for flooding in NON-FLOOD areas is included in your regular home owner policy. People forget flood insurance is supposed to be only for those who live in likely flood areas. Most of the areas that flooded were not in flood plain areas nor had they flooded previously. What appears to have happened in many cases was that storm drains were not improved to keep up with rapid growth. Why is it the insurance companies always get away withou paying. Perhaps we now know how those who suffered through Katrina felt. Clark help us do soemthing about the abilaity of health and home owner insurance companies to change the rules when they want.

Before getting any service checkout ripoffreport.com . Put in the name of the company you wish to do service with. They will show you any negative report or complaint. These report are never deleted.

nter your comments here If a company does not have a truck mount system, chances are they will not be equiped to do a good enough job. Get a company with a truck mount system or go to the local store and rent a machine and do it yourself.
