For Ryan and Chey Johnson, the happy arrival of their second child was sadly offset by the devastating damage to their home caused by the December 2018 hailstorm.<\/h2>\n

\u2018After the hail wrecked the roof, the wind and rain came,\u2019 said Ryan. \u2018We couldn\u2019t wait for the SES \u2013 we had water pouring from every downlight \u2013 so we put tarps over the house ourselves, with help from some neighbours.\u2019<\/p>\n

97% of local homes damaged by the hailstorm were \u2018made safe\u2019 with tarps, many of which have since failed multiple times. Over the following weeks, as bad weather continued, flapping, leaking, flyaway tarps caused ongoing stress for the Johnsons.<\/p>\n

\u2018I was sick and tired of having to fix the tarps again and again,\u2019 said Ryan. \u2018In the month after the storm, I was up there five times to fix the tarps, because of the wind. The last time I went up, I nearly slipped off the roof. It gave way a little bit and scared me.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ryan found it difficult to sleep. \u2018I\u2019d be worrying about the wind hitting the back of the house and the tarp lifting. And I\u2019d be worrying about sandbags falling off because with the rain, they don\u2019t grip on the tarps, they just slide until they hit the gutters. A sandbag fell off the roof and went through our pergola; it woke us up at 2am with a massive bang!\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This mirrors the experience of many other local residents who are still suffering under tarps, months after the storm. Insurance roofers are kept busy replacing tarps and reassessing escalating damage claims, so they have little time left to make permanent repairs.<\/p>\n

\"Stormseal<\/p>\n

Since February 2019, the Johnsons have been among the fortunate 3% of local storm victims<\/a> to secure their properties with weatherproof Stormseal.<\/p>\n

Stormseal<\/a> is an Australian innovation that breaks the cycle of suffering caused by tarps. It\u2019s a strong polymer film that heat-shrinks to securely wrap and weatherproof damaged structures. Stormseal stays put, preventing further damage.<\/p>\n

\u2018When I heard about Stormseal, I immediately asked our insurer to replace the tarps with it,\u2019 said Ryan. \u2018Stormseal is perfect because once it\u2019s installed you don\u2019t have to go back up there, and you\u2019ve got peace of mind that if rains, no water is going to come in.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If more insurers switched to using Stormseal, then their contractors could get on with fixing roofs instead of replacing tarps, and more families could relax and get on with their lives like the Johnsons.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
