Wind Damage
Wind damage is one of the most common types of residential storm damage. Homeowners face problems with trees down and powerlines falling on homes. Also, the siding and shingles can blow away with severe windstorms.
Water Damage
The most damaging result of storm damage is water damage because it can lead to structural damage and mold damage in your home. Water damage during a storm can happen if doors or windows are not sealed properly. Or if your roof has damage this can cause a leak. It is important to have your roof inspected once a year to prevent water damage in your home.
Snow Damage
Snow might be exciting to get, and pretty to look at but it can also cause water damage, damage to your gutters, and your home's foundation, and even mold damage. Eventually, the snow melts and can affect your home just like water damage. Snow is also heavy and when it gets trapped in your gutters it can cause damage. If snow freezes and can cause the gutters not to work properly and melted snow to get to your home's foundation.
Secondary Damage
After the storm passes, you may not realize the results caused by the primary damages such as structural damage, mold, or electrical fires. If water enters your home during the storm this can start to cause mold to grow, or structural rot and weakening that you may not be aware of. After storm damage, it is important to act fast on repairs to prevent further issues.
