— What Is The UASRC
SEC 01 / 05
A standard built for homeowners.
The United Association of Storm Restoration Contractors (UASRC) is a non-profit organization founded in 2012 to promote the highest ethical standards in storm restoration. Here's what our membership means, and what it doesn't.
Homeowner-focused
The UASRC was created to be a homeowner-centric organization, identifying best business practices so people dealing with a member know they're working with a reputable contractor.
An answer to storm-chasers
It was founded specifically to counter the fly-by-night "storm chasers" who flood an area after bad weather and give the storm restoration industry a bad name.
What it is, and isn't
To be straight with you: UASRC is a professional membership tied to a best-practices standard, not a contractor's license or a warranty. It reflects how we operate, not a guarantee on any one job.
