Wind-driven rain and structural breaches keep letting water in while the building sits untarped and unsecured.

Build one damage record after officials say reentry is safe. Photograph roof openings, broken windows, overland water, basement backup, interior leaks, and affected belongings as separate conditions. MWRD flooding guidance tells residents to find the water source and notify the municipality; Chicago residents can use 311. During heavy rain, MWRD overflow guidance explains that much of the Chicago area uses combined sewers, so extra household water can worsen street and basement backups, and it asks residents to delay showers, dishwashers, and laundry when overflow alerts are issued. Ask every bidder to use the same record rather than pricing a different version of the loss.
Require each proposal to separate temporary weather protection, water extraction and drying, damaged-material removal, roof or structural repair, regulated trade work, and later reconstruction. EPA flooded-home guidance addresses contaminated water, electrical and structural hazards, and rapid drying. Ask which legal business will tarp or board openings, who will extract and dry, who will repair the roof or plumbing, and what written evidence will mark each phase complete. A storm-cleanup total that mixes tarping, drying, and rebuild hides missing work.
Check Chicago contractor and permit tools before signing reconstruction. The Department of Buildings licensed-contractor search, permit-professional lookup, and permit-and-inspection records are separate checks from a restoration company’s emergency offer. Ask who will apply for each required permit, which licensed trade will perform the work, and which assemblies must remain visible for inspection. Before final payment, compare the contract, change orders, invoices, 311 or municipal response notes when the public system was involved, and the city permit record.

Storm damage restoration is the emergency response and repair process after wind, hail, or flooding: tarping or boarding breaches in the roof and windows, extracting water, clearing debris, drying the structure, and rebuilding the damaged areas. Fast tarping and water removal limit how far the damage spreads while permanent repairs are scheduled and insurance is filed.
