Then if another weather event hits, more water damage can occur,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>His company <a href=\"https:\/\/stormseal.com\/us\/about-stormseal\/\">Stormseal<\/a> has trained installers in a safer method to protect storm-damaged homes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbs.com.au\/news\/the-australian-builder-protecting-storm-victims-around-the-globe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here for original article.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wild weather is lashing Australia\u2019s east and, in some cities and towns, the destruction resembles a war zone.
