Storm restoration in Sandwich

Sandwich is a city of about 7,200 in DeKalb County, tucked into the agricultural flatlands of northern Illinois where severe weather season is a genuine annual event, not a distant abstraction. The county recorded 15 confirmed tornadoes between 1950 and 2019, and the April 2015 EF-4 that struck the small community of Fairdale stands as a stark reminder of what the local atmosphere can produce, killing two people and causing an estimated 19 million dollars in damage across four counties. The August 2020 derecho pushed straight-line wind gusts past 80 mph through DeKalb County with damage comparable to a weak tornado, and winter storms routinely stress roofs, gutters, and older masonry with heavy snow and ice accumulation. Storm Damage 911 connects Sandwich homeowners with vetted, licensed local professionals for a free post-storm assessment.

Local specialists for Sandwich storm damage

DeKalb County sits squarely in northern Illinois's severe-weather corridor, with 15 confirmed tornadoes between 1950 and 2019 including a devastating EF-4 that struck the small community of Fairdale on April 9, 2015, killing two residents and causing an estimated $19 million in damage across four counties. Large hail accompanies many of the county's spring and summer supercells, with peak severe-weather season running May through July. Derechos are a recurring threat: the August 2020 derecho drove straight-line wind gusts exceeding 80 mph across the county, causing widespread structural and tree damage comparable to a weak tornado. Winter storms deliver heavy snow and ice accumulation that overtax roofs, gutters, and older masonry on the county's many agricultural and residential structures.
