Storm water damage usually starts at the roof, windows, or siding. High winds lift shingles, hail cracks flashing, and rain finds its way into attics and walls. Restoration means stopping more water from entering, then drying and repairing everything it reached.
Free referral to independent, licensed and insured local pros. Zip codes served include 60423 60443.

We are a referral line, not a contractor. Calls are routed to independent local pros around Matteson who handle the full storm sequence, from covering the roof to repairing ceilings.
The first priority is keeping more rain out. Contractors tarp damaged roofs and board up broken windows or doors before interior drying begins.
Local pros will still be here after the storm. That matters for follow-up work and questions later.
Confirm license and insurance before signing anything, especially after a big storm.
Detailed photos and moisture logs give your adjuster what they need to process the storm claim.

Storm restoration starts outside and works inward. Stop the leaks first, then handle the attic, ceilings, and walls.

Heavy-duty tarps are secured over damaged roof sections with battens so wind does not lift them, keeping rain out until permanent roof repairs.
Openings from broken glass or tree damage are boarded up to protect the home.
Soaked blown-in or batt insulation is removed, roof decking and rafters are dried, and the attic is checked for mold before new insulation goes in.
Stained or sagging ceilings are opened, dried, and replaced. Wall damage from window leaks or wind-driven rain gets the same treatment.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry ceilings, walls, and floors below the leak until moisture readings confirm the structure is dry.
Call +1-877-637-9008 and describe what was damaged, whether water is still coming in, and if the roof or windows are open to the weather.
You will get a realistic arrival window. After major storms, you will be told if it will take longer.
The pro inspects the roof line, attic, and interior, takes moisture readings, and gives you a written estimate before work begins.
The building is tarped or boarded, the interior is dried, and ceilings, walls, and insulation are repaired.

Wind took a chunk of shingles off, and rain came into the attic all night. They had a tarp on by noon, pulled the wet insulation, and fixed the bedroom ceiling the following week.

Luis F.Storm insurance claim

Climbing a wet, damaged roof is dangerous. A professional tarp is safer and more likely to hold. Many policies cover reasonable emergency tarping costs.
Wind-driven rain through storm damage is usually covered. Outside flooding generally requires flood insurance.
Verify local presence, licensing, and insurance, and avoid anyone pressuring you or asking for large deposits.
Rarely. Blown-in cellulose clumps and loses its insulating value, and fiberglass can trap moisture against the decking. Most soaked insulation should be replaced.
Act within a day or two. Mold grows quickly, and the next rain adds more damage.
