Common Types of Damage Caused by Windstorms

• Roof Damage – The most common damage that properties sustain after windstorms is roof damage, specifically to the shingles, roof membrane, seams, and flashings. The damage can be more expensive in properties with mixed roofing types and skywalks.
• Window Damage – Strong winds can easily tear window seals, smash glass, and leave craters and cracks in the glass parts. When assessing your windows for potential damage, pay close attention to the glass because minor cracks and leaks that are left unaddressed can cause further damage and more expensive repairs in the future.
• Damage to Doors and Exterior Walls – At extremely high speeds, windstorms can tear or strip away exterior wall coverings and significantly damage exterior doors. When windstorm damage is these extensive, temporary, quick repairs are needed for mitigating further damage and ensuring your property’s safety.
• Damage to Exterior Equipment, Structures, and Vehicles – Swimming pools, decks, landscaping, trees, motor vehicles, electrical components, and equipment for communications and heating and cooling can be damaged by very strong windstorms.

With severe windstorms brought about by hurricanes and tornadoes, homes and buildings can partially or completely collapse, particularly if their structures haven’t been maintained properly or are not designed to withstand strong winds. High winds can likewise bring down even the strongest trees and send all sorts of debris flying around that may damage or puncture properties. This kind of damage can even be more severe than the direct damage windstorms can bring.
