Tarping up the three story side of their house when the siding blew off!!

Storms can be very scary with the wind and rain, the lightning and thunder. You are watching the weather channel and hoping that the real bad parts of the storm pass you by.

Once the storm is over, it is a good idea to do an inspection of the exterior of your home and your roof, if you can see it. 

Strong winds and rain can cause otherwise tight siding and roofing to be damaged and cause water to get into your home. If you do identify areas of outside damage either on the roof or siding, call SERVPRO of Elgin/Northwest Kane County to secure your home.

Give the customer service technician as much information as possible such as what is damaged, is there material missing, is there hanging or sharp materials in the damaged area. 

We will bring our emergency services trailer that contains, tools, ladders, air compressor, generator, extension cords, lights, wood, tarps, etc. Hopefully everything needed to fully secure your home.
