What Homeowners Should Know After a Hailstorm in Northern Illinois

A practical checklist for the days after a hailstorm hits Rockford and Northern Illinois.

Make sure everyone is safe

Stay away from downed lines and don't climb on the roof. Photograph visible damage from the ground.

Prevent further damage

If water is entering the home, take reasonable steps to limit it and keep receipts.

Review your policy

Check your deductible and any reporting deadlines. Your insurer decides coverage.

Be careful with storm chasers

Choose a contractor with a local presence, written estimates, and no pressure to sign on the spot.

GET CERTIFIED

Schedule an inspection and get a written estimate.
