Understanding the Impact of Storm Damage

Storms can cause a wide variety of damage to your home, including:

• Roof Damage: High winds can lift or tear off shingles, while hail can create dents, punctures, or cracks in your roofing material. In more severe cases, wind can even strip off large sections of your roof, leaving your home vulnerable to water damage.

• Water Damage: Heavy rains can lead to leaks, flooding, and water intrusion, which can damage walls, ceilings, insulation, and electrical systems. Water damage, if not addressed promptly, can lead to mold and mildew growth, posing health risks and requiring extensive remediation.

• Structural Damage: Strong winds and fallen trees or branches can cause significant structural damage to your home, including to the roof, siding, and windows. This type of damage can compromise the integrity of your home and may require extensive repairs.

• Gutter and Siding Damage: Storms often clog gutters with debris, causing water to overflow and damage your home’s foundation. Siding can also be torn off or dented by wind, hail, or debris, leading to potential water infiltration and energy efficiency issues.
