Wind damage claims

Wind can affect a home, ranging from minor annoyances to significant structural damage. These effects can depend on factors such as wind speed, duration, the design and condition of the home, and local geography

Some primary effects of wind to a building:

Roof Shingle Loss: Strong winds can lift and remove shingles, exposing the roof deck to potential water damage.

​​

Lifted Roof: High winds can cause uplift forces that may lift the entire roof structure, especially if it is not adequately secured.

Debris Impact: Wind can blow debris onto the roof, causing punctures or other damage.

Cracking or Peeling Siding: Wind can cause the siding to crack, peel, or be torn off, leading to potential water infiltration and insulation issues.

Windows and Door Breakage: Strong winds can shatter windows and doors, especially if they are struck by flying debris.

Water Leakage: Wind-driven rain can force water through seals and gaps around windows and doors.
