Billy's advice: 1. Don't panic - especially if you're not leaking. If you're leaking, find a local contractor to do an emergency repair and your insurance will cover the cost. 2. Don't feel like you have to use a contractor your insurance provides. Be cautious of the buddy system. 3. Meet with a few contractors and compare Skilled Nursing • FREE Local Calls apples to apples. • FREE HBO • ESPN & Independent 4.
