The Storms That Damage London Properties
Thunderstorms, downed trees and outages
Thunderstorms in London have brought down trees and limbs and left neighbourhoods without London Hydro power for hours. A tree through a roof lets rain in, and an outage stops sump pumps just as water rises. We tarp, board up and extract water quickly.
River and creek flooding
The Thames River, Kettle Creek and the Sydenham River have all prompted conservation authority flood warnings in recent years. Floodwater carries silt and contamination, so we remove affected materials, disinfect and dry.
Lake Erie wind and waves
Along the Lake Erie shore in Chatham-Kent and Leamington, strong winds and high waves have flooded roads and shoreline property, and record average Lake Erie levels in May 2019 made it worse. We dry and restore what the water reaches and secure the building afterward.

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 (226) 777-1890 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
