The Storms That Damage Indianapolis Properties
Tornado and wind damage
On April 2, 2025, the National Weather Service in Indianapolis rated an EF1 tornado from southwest of Carmel to north-northwest of Fishers, with roof and siding damage to many homes and apartment buildings, and EF2 tornadoes the same evening near Lapel and through Brownsburg. Wind opens roofs and walls, and rain follows in.
Hail on roofs
Hail can bruise shingles, crack vents and dent gutters without an obvious leak. Water may enter weeks later, so a roof inspection after a hailstorm is worth doing even when the ceiling is dry.
Ice, wind and falling trees
Ice-loaded limbs and wind can drop trees on roofs, garages and power lines. A fast tarp and board-up keeps rain and snow out of the structure while the claim is sorted.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Missing or lifted shingles, or a tree limb on the roof
- Water stains on ceilings after wind-driven rain
- Broken windows, doors, or siding
- Water in the basement after a flash flood
- Ice dams along the roof edge with water inside the house
- A musty smell in the attic in the weeks after a storm
Stay away from downed power lines and do not enter a flooded basement until the power is off. If it is safe, cover openings and move valuables away from leaks, take photos of the damage, and call (317) 314-6759 so we can tarp, board up, and start drying.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how the storm got in: through the roof, through broken openings, or through the basement. Wind and hail damage often lets water into attics and wall cavities, where it spreads before stains appear. We inspect the whole path of the water and document it for your adjuster.
Tarping and board-up happen the same day. Drying usually takes 3 to 5 days, and repairs follow, with timing that depends on roofing and material availability after widespread storms.
What We Restore After a Storm
- Roofs and attics after wind and hail
- Ceilings and drywall after wind-driven rain
- Basements after flash floods
- Windows, doors, and siding
- Ceilings and walls after ice dams
- Garages and outbuildings
- Contents and furniture
- Commercial roofs and storefronts
