WACO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 12, 2003--Rainbow International Carpet Care and Restoration Specialist has announced an agreement with Texas Select Lloyds Insurance Company to become a preferred vendor for water remediation claims for policyholders in the State of Texas, effective immediately. It is called the W.R.A.P. program -- Water Remediation Action Plan.

"We have selected Rainbow to service water intrusion calls and work to prevent further damage," said Charles Locke, property claims manager for Texas Select. Locke, who created the W.R.A.P. program, said Rainbow International was his first choice to service his policyholders.

"Restoration services have become a core focus for our company," said David Bethea, president of Rainbow International, "and we are extremely pleased to have been chosen by Texas Select to offer those services through the W.R.A.P. program."

The W.R.A.P. program will provide Texas Select 24 hour access to Rainbow's franchise network in Texas. Rainbow International will be a preferred vendor where franchise locations currently exist to respond to all W.R.A.P. calls within four hours.

Locke said a major focus of the W.R.A.P. program is to help homeowners guard against potential mold and fungus problems.

"By servicing water remediation calls quickly and with properly trained technicians, we are offering our customers reliable service from a nationally known franchise," said Locke.
