Types of Storms in Schaumburg, IL
In Schaumburg, we often see a variety of storms throughout the year. Here are a few facts about storm risks in the area:
- Windstorms: Schaumburg can experience wind gusts of up to 60 mph, especially during severe thunderstorms. In 2020, a windstorm in the Chicago area left hundreds of homes in Schaumburg with roof and siding damage.

Storm Damage Safety Tips
Storms can be unpredictable and intense, but a little preparation can go a long way in keeping you and your property safe. Here are some tips to help you stay ahead of the storm:
- Trim Your Trees: Get rid of any dead or weak branches that could break off in strong winds and cause damage.
- Secure Outdoor Items: Bring in or tie down things like furniture, grills, and garden tools that could be tossed around in the storm.
- Check Your Windows and Doors: Make sure everything is properly sealed to prevent damage. If you’re expecting strong winds, storm shutters can offer extra protection.
- Reinforce Your Garage Doors: Garage doors are one of the most vulnerable parts of your home during a storm. Consider reinforcing them with a brace or using a door with a higher wind rating if you live in a high-risk area.
- Clean Gutters and Drains: Make sure your gutters and downspouts are clear of leaves and debris so rainwater can flow freely and prevent flooding and sewage backup around your home.
- Check Roof and Shingles: Inspect your roof for any loose or damaged shingles. If any are loose, they can get blown off by the wind, causing water damage to your home. It’s worth fixing them before the storm hits.

Will my insurance cover for storm restoration?

Review by Amy Jachna
"Had a great experience working with Marshall when we had an emergency leak at my mom’s house. He immediately started working to salvage what we could. I felt like he absolutely understood the urgency, and treated my mom like his own! He and the rest of the team were super easy to work with and answered our (many) questions along the way. They were very transparent about the process which was extremely helpful as this was our first time with this kind of issue in 30+ years of owning the house. We so appreciate ProTech for aiding us during our time of need."
Review by Lynn Gibson
"My experience with ProTech was wonderful from the first visit thru the last. Ben did a great job of evaluating the work that needed to be done and explaining everything to me. Frank and Sergio were great to work with because they were pleasant AND they were so very careful about everything they did. All in all, I give the ProTech team an A+!"
Review by Kelsey Swyter
"I had a pipe burst and subsequent leakage into my basement. At first I thought that we maybe stopped it in time since we could not see obvious damage but Marshall at ProTech said it would be a good idea to check it out anyway and came out within a couple of days. I’m so glad he did since there was more damage than we anticipated. Marshall explained the damage thoroughly using his imaging techniques and provided a quote within the day. Pricing was good and our insurance accepted the proposal immediately. The ProTech team was able to do the water damage mitigation about a week after the incident and on a Saturday no less. Everything was done super quickly and professionally. While I do not want to deal with any more water damage, the repairs using ProTech were painless. I would recommend this company and especially Marshall to anyone in the same situation."
