The Storms That Damage Will County Properties
Tornadoes and downburst winds
National Weather Service Chicago confirmed an EF-0 tornado in and near Minooka in 2020 and another that began in Crest Hill and tracked into the north side of Joliet in 2022. Summer thunderstorms can also bring downburst winds that bring down trees onto roofs, fences and vehicles.
Roof openings and water intrusion
A missing shingle section or a limb through the roof lets rain into attics, insulation and ceilings within minutes. We tarp the roof, extract water, and dry the structure so a storm does not turn into a mold problem.
Flash flooding with the storm
The same storms can drop rain faster than streets and storm sewers carry it, pushing water into basements and up floor drains. Standard flood coverage does not typically cover sewer backup or sump pump damage, according to the Illinois Department of Insurance.

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 (815) 749-9130 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
