The Storms That Damage Monroe Properties
Thunderstorm winds and downed trees
A June 2017 thunderstorm brought numerous trees and power lines down in Carleton, and an August 2021 storm led Milan's mayor to declare a state of emergency over damaged trees, lines and roofs. Fallen limbs can open a roof, and rain follows through the gap.
Lake Erie and river flooding
In May 2018, Lake Erie waves burst through a damaged seawall on the Monroe County shoreline, and high lake levels with strong winds caused shoreline flooding again in 2020. The River Raisin can also rise at Dundee and Monroe, so storm water can come from outside as well as the roof.
Outages and winter storms
Arctic outbreaks in Southeast Michigan bring dangerous cold, and a power outage can leave sump pumps off and pipes unheated. We board up openings, protect the structure and dry what water reached before the cold causes a second loss.

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 (734) 858-4445 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
