Storm restoration in Richmond
Richmond anchors the far northeast corner of McHenry County, a village of roughly 2,100 that sits at the edge of the Chicago metro where the landscape begins to open into Wisconsin's lake country. That location puts it squarely in the northwest collar's storm belt, where large hail, straight-line thunderstorm winds, and derecho events are a regular part of the warm-season calendar. The Fox River watershed nearby adds flash flood and riverine flood risk that has activated multi-agency disaster responses in recent years. Winter is its own threat, with ice storms and heavy snow producing ice dams and roof stress that can send water into ceilings and walls for weeks before a homeowner notices. We connect Richmond residents with vetted, licensed local professionals for a free storm-damage assessment.

Local specialists for Richmond 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.
