Shorty after a storm rolls through Chicagoland, almost all homeowners do roughly the same checks. They walk outside, look around, don't see anything obviously wrong, and move on. While that's a completely reasonable response. The problem is that when it comes to storm damage - in particular hail and high winds - what you might miss could turn out to be very costly. 

At D-Wing, we've built a solution for that. It's free, takes just a few minutes, and it tells you something your eyes from the driveway cannot. Whether your specific address was actually in the path of a damaging weather event.

What the Weather Report Actually Is

The D-Wing free weather report uses advanced tracking data to map where hail and high wind events made contact. You fill out a quick form with your home address and we run it against that data. What comes back is a clear picture of whether your property was in the path of recent storm activity.

No inspection required to get it. No commitment attached to it. No pressure to do anything with the information if you don't want to. It's just accurate data about what your home has been through that you wouldn't have any other way of getting.

Many homeowners either worry unnecessarily about a storm that didn't actually hit their home or don't worry enough about one that did. The weather report eliminates both of those situations in about five minutes.

Why Not Knowing Can Be A Problem

Hail damage and wind damage don't always look like damage. Hail leaves bruising on shingle material, granule loss in circular patterns, and dents on metal components like vents, flashing, and gutters. None of that is visible from your yard. Wind lifts shingle edges, compromises flashing seals, and creates gaps that water finds the next time it rains. Also not visible from the yard.

When this goes unaddressed what happens is very predictable. Water finds the gaps. Small issues become bigger ones. And when you finally do call someone out, the damage has compounded in a way that is more expensive to fix and harder to connect to a specific storm event for insurance purposes.

Fox Valley has seen some real tough weather this year. Multiple documented hail and wind events across Aurora, Naperville, Batavia, St. Charles, and Geneva from late spring through the summer. A lot of homes were in the path of those storms. A lot of homeowners have not checked. The weather report tells you in minutes whether yours was one of them.

What D-Wing Does With That Information

If your report shows your address was in the path of a significant weather event, the next step is a professional inspection. That inspection is done before you call your insurance company and gives you an independent, documented picture of what is actually on your roof before your insurance company forms their own assessment.

From there, if there is damage worth pursuing, D-Wing handles the process with you. We meet with your insurance company directly on your behalf. We provide the detailed estimates for the work to be covered. We recommend the best solutions for your budget. And we get to work restoring your home back to where it was before the storm. You are not navigating any of that alone.

We have been doing this across Chicagoland for over 20 years. We know what adjusters look for, we know how to document damage properly, and we know how to advocate for homeowners through a process that can feel overwhelming if you haven't ever been through it.

Why Right Now Is the Right Time

Documented storm events have a shelf life when it comes to insurance claims. The weather events that moved through the Fox Valley this summer are on record right now. The connection between your damage and a specific storm is clean and clear today. Six months from now that connection gets harder to make and the insurance company gets more room to push back.

Getting the weather report today costs you nothing. It takes minutes. And if it shows nothing to worry about, you will know that and move on. If it shows your home was in the path of something significant, you will know that too, while there's still time to do something about it.
