After a catastrophic hailstorm hit Berowra Heights in December 2018, long-term resident Marg suffered trials that would test the strength of much younger people.<\/h2>\n

\u2018The hailstorm happened late in the afternoon and it wrecked my roof. I had hundreds of cracked tiles and big holes that let the rain in.<\/p>\n

\u2018My insurer sent builders to install a tarp the next day, but it was hopeless,\u2019 said Marg. \u2018It kept slipping and flapping and broken tiles kept crashing down, going off like bombs. I couldn\u2019t sleep, and my dog was going crazy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2018The Rural Fire Service was helping people in my area and when they saw my tarp, they told me \u2018that house is not safe\u2019. I found more damage inside my house because it just wasn\u2019t weatherproof.<\/p>\n

\u2018The tarp had to be reattached seven times in five weeks. I had to keep calling my insurer to get the tarp fixed and each phone call took at least thirty minutes. I felt bad ringing all the time because I don\u2019t like to complain, but I needed my house to be safe.<\/p>\n

\u2018There were so many roofs damaged by the storm that I think the insurers\u2019 builders ran out of sandbags. They tried to anchor my tarp with bags of broken tiles, but they weren\u2019t heavy enough to hold it down,\u2019 Marg explained.<\/p>\n

\u2018We had a night of really strong wind and the tarp just took off. It flipped upside-down and got caught on the power lines. I was so worried. I called 000 and the fire brigade came and got it down.<\/p>\n

\u2018Then my neighbour told me about Stormseal. All the roofers have seen it on her house and they\u2019ve all said \u2018that\u2019s fantastic\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018I was worried that my insurer wouldn\u2019t let me have it. But they agreed to replace my tarp with Stormseal.<\/p>\n

\u2018I want to say thank you very much to the inventor of Stormseal. And I hope the people who get hit by the next storm get Stormseal instead of tarps, so they don\u2019t have to go through what we\u2019ve been through.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you and your family are still living under a tarp, ask your insurer for Stormseal. More info here<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
