Storm damage restoration in Fox River Grove (McHenry)
Storm Damage 911 is a free matching service that connects Fox River Grove (McHenry) homeowners with vetted, licensed, insured storm damage restoration contractors serving McHenry County. McHenry County sits in the Chicago metro's northwest collar, where homes face a recurring combination of large hail (1-2+ inch stones, 10-15 severe hail days annually across northern Illinois), straight-line thunderstorm winds regularly exceeding 70 mph, and derecho events - the August 2020 derecho spawned an EF-1 tornado near Marengo and the July 2024 derecho produced tornadoes across the broader region.
Tucked along the Fox River in McHenry County, Fox River Grove is a village of about 4,700 residents that sits at the intersection of two serious storm hazards: the riverine flooding that the Fox River and its tributaries regularly produce, and the large hail and straight-line winds that come with being in Chicago's northwest collar. McHenry County averages ten to fifteen severe hail days per year across northern Illinois, and derecho events - including a notable August 2020 system - have brought tornado-force straight-line winds into the county. Spring snowmelt combined with heavy rain can push the Fox to major flood stage, and ice dams after winter storms are a persistent source of interior water damage. Storm Damage 911 helps Fox River Grove homeowners get connected to licensed, vetted local restoration professionals for a free on-site assessment.

Storm damage restoration contractors in Fox River Grove
McHenry County sits in the Chicago metro's northwest collar, where homes face a recurring combination of large hail (1-2+ inch stones, 10-15 severe hail days annually across northern Illinois), straight-line thunderstorm winds regularly exceeding 70 mph, and derecho events - the August 2020 derecho spawned an EF-1 tornado near Marengo and the July 2024 derecho produced tornadoes across the broader region. The Fox River and its tributaries create significant flash flood and riverine flood risk, particularly in Algonquin and McHenry, with the Fox River reaching major flood stage repeatedly in recent years including April 2026 when multi-agency disaster recovery centers were opened. Winters bring ice storm and heavy snow events that cause ice dams, roof load stress, and gutter damage, with the county included in at least one federal FEMA disaster declaration for a severe winter storm. Storm restoration work in the county centers on roof and siding hail damage, wind-damaged trees and structures, sewer and basement flooding, and post-ice-dam interior water intrusion.
