Hurricane Sandy Restoration & Environmental Consultants Turn to Legends for their Insurance Needs

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov. 26, 2012 - One month ago, Hurricane Sandy left a path of death and destruction along the East Coast.  According to some estimates, close to $20 billion in property damages resulted from the devastating storm.

In response to the property damage, areas hard hit have been busy assessing the damage, cleaning out properties, and beginning to rebuild.  Restoration contractors and environmental consultants have come from far away states to help during this important process.

Many of these contractors and consultants are busy assessing properties that suffered water damage and flooding.  Numerous properties are now facing contamination issues from mold, bacteria, viruses, and chemical contaminants.  In addition, many older homes and businesses in the area contained lead-based paints and building materials that contained asbestos.

To be able to complete these projects, many of these contractors and consultants have turned to Legends Environmental Insurance Services to ensure that they have the necessary insurance coverage to perform this important work and be eligible to bid on large projects.  Legends has been offering insurance services since 1973 and has specialized in providing environmental insurance programs for over 25 years.  They offer insurance coverage for a wide range of environmental consulting and restoration contractor needs.  

“The devastation in some areas of the East Coast is truly historic,” reported Brian Mcfarland, Vice President of Legends. “Environmental consultants and restoration contractors play a crucial role after a natural disaster like Hurricane Sandy.  In order for these professionals to provide their services, they have to have insurance.  Some insurance providers may have a state exclamation or exclusion in some of the states impacted by the storm so it’s important that they contact their agent or Legends to determine if they are properly covered.  In addition, they need to have Contractors’ Pollution Liability Coverage. Legends is proud to offer coverage at the most competitive rates in the industry so that these companies can work quickly and efficiently to help people rebuild their homes, schools and business.”
