Storm Damage in Skokie

Wind, Hail & Heavy Weather

Spring Thunderstorms: High winds and hail commonly damage Skokie roofs in spring. Hail impact creates cracks; wind lifts shingles and tears flashing.

Winter Ice & Snow: Heavy snow loads damage roof structures. Ice dams trap water under shingles. Freeze-thaw cycles crack materials.

Wind Damage: Skokie’s exposure to spring and fall winds causes shingle loss and flashing separation. High-wind areas need inspection after storms.

Falling Trees & Branches: Tree limbs break through roofing, creating holes requiring emergency repair.

Flash Flooding: Heavy rain overwhelms gutters and can penetrate roof areas. Emergency response prevents attic and wall damage.
