What to do right now

Protect people, then protect the property.

Call Fire and Storm Restoration and describe the active damage, safety concerns, claim status, and access details.
Move people and pets away from smoke, standing water, broken glass, roof openings, unstable ceilings, and electrical hazards.
Take photos only from a safe place, then preserve damaged materials when safety allows.
Notify the insurance carrier and keep claim numbers, adjuster contacts, dates, and emergency notes organized.

What not to do

Avoid actions that increase risk or erase evidence.

Do not enter fire-damaged, flooded, storm-opened, or structurally questionable areas until safety is confirmed.
Do not turn on wet electrical systems, use damaged appliances, or disturb suspect mold growth.
Do not throw away damaged materials before documentation unless safety or disposal rules require it.
Do not delay emergency mitigation when water, smoke, roof openings, or unsecured openings can create secondary damage.

Storm damage risks

Chicagoland storms can combine wind, hail, heavy rain, freeze-thaw stress, and sewer or sump issues. Older homes may have plaster, common brick, flat roofs, and finished basements requiring careful inspection.

Emergency storm response scope

Emergency work may include roof tarping, board-up, water extraction, temporary weatherproofing, safety review, and documentation before permanent repairs are scoped.

Claim coordination

Storm losses often involve multiple trades. Organized photos, roof notes, interior water-path descriptions, measurements, and line-item scope notes reduce confusion.

Timeline

Emergency timeline

First call: report active fire, water, storm, roof, or security concerns.

Stabilization: protect openings, remove standing water when safe, and reduce further exposure.

Documentation: collect photos, room notes, moisture readings, and emergency summaries.

Scope review: separate immediate mitigation from rebuild and restoration planning.

Questions and Answers

Restoration, safety, and insurance basics.

What counts as a storm emergency?

Active roof leaks, broken windows, tree impact, water intrusion, open building areas, flooded basements, and unsafe exterior damage may need urgent stabilization.

Should I wait until the storm fully passes?

Do not put people at risk during dangerous weather. Call as soon as safe so the response can be planned around current hazards and property conditions.

What temporary services may be needed after a storm?

Roof tarping, board-up, water extraction, debris-aware access planning, and documentation may be needed before permanent repairs.

What should I have ready when I call?

Have the affected address, damage type, active water or exposure details, safety concerns, claim status, and safe photos available for later secure transfer.

How does storm documentation help the claim process?

Photos, temporary protection notes, room-by-room observations, and scope summaries help adjusters review damage and understand what work was performed or recommended.
