Storm restoration in Lake in the Hills
Tucked into McHenry County's Fox River Valley, Lake in the Hills has grown from a quiet rural village into a community of nearly 29,000 that blends suburban amenities with open greenspace. The county's northwest position in the Chicago metro puts it squarely in the path of powerful thunderstorm systems that deliver large hail, wind gusts well above 70 mph, and occasional tornadoes - including EF-1 damage from the 2020 derecho just miles away near Marengo. Fox River flooding has repeatedly pushed into surrounding neighborhoods, and winter ice storms add another layer of annual roof stress. We match Lake in the Hills homeowners with local, licensed pros who can assess the damage at no cost.

Local specialists for Lake in the Hills storm damage
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.
