Storm damaged homes and structures in Chicago always benefit from SERVPRO services. "Like it never even happened."

Storm Damage Getting the Best of Your West Loop Home?

Sometimes, a storm may not seem very powerful. Weaker storms can be deceiving, making you feel there is minor possible storm damage. Storm damage does not always mean that a tree has fallen on your home, crushing the roof. Storm damage can be as little as a few shingles that have blown off or twisted hinges on a screen door. Both of these situations, and others, require repairs. Left alone, they can be sources of additional damage. Preventing those situations from escalating can also prevent increasingly higher repair bills from becoming a reality for you.

West Loop area homeowners who do not repair minor storm damage often find themselves coping with even more damage that can be extremely extensive and expensive. We can help you avoid these additional problems. There is no reason to procrastinate on having repairs made, but there are many reasons to have restorative work done as soon as possible.

Because we are SERVPRO, we have extensive training in all aspects of repairs and restorations. We have completed many different jobs over the years, and we can successfully handle any size disaster, including the one you are facing. Our certifications cover the many different cleaning and restorative types of work that storm damage can cause.

We are certified to repair your home's siding, shingles, and other roof components. Other structural elements can be restored, including gutters, windows and frames, screen doors, and much more. When storm damage happens, these repairs are necessary to prevent additional damage from affecting your home. Repairs protect your home and the contents inside.

If shingles have been torn off, or siding was peeled away, water and insect pests can enter at the first opportunity. Larger openings in your roof can permit rodents and birds to come in and make their homes in your attic space. Some rodents are more damaging than others and may move to the house's living areas. If windows are damaged, your home is at increased risk for burglaries.
