There are many different types of damage that can be common after a storm like the one we saw the other day. Let’s take a look at some of the most common storm damage for homes:
- Roof Damage: Between heavy winds, falling debris, and hail, shingles can be bent or torn, granules may scrape away, and this roof damage can lead to leaks and structural damage.
- Siding Damage: Siding can also be ripped away, cracked, or bent, and exposing the structure beneath.
- Window and Door Damage: Doors and windows can be broken or cracked by flying debris, and this can cause water damage to the home.
- Gutter Damage: High winds can dislodge gutters, leading to poor drainage. This can force water to remain on the roof, leading to damage.
- Water Damage: Most of the problems listed above can lead to water damage. Intense rain can lead to floods, leaks, and water in the home. This can cause mold, damage to the walls, and so much more! If you suspect water damage, never leave it. Always call a professional right away.
