Some Less Obvious Signs of Wind Damage in Centre City?
6/4/2024 (Permalink)
Our local Centre City/Uptown team restores properties damaged by wind every year in Centre City. After a windstorm has passed, it's essential to inspect your property thoroughly for signs of wind damage, including less obvious indicators that may not be immediately apparent. Some of the less-obvious signs of wind damage to check for include:
Cracks in Walls or Foundation: Inspect your home's exterior and interior walls for cracks or fissures that may have developed due to wind-induced stress. Pay close attention to areas around windows, doors, corners, and the foundation.
Loose or Damaged Roofing Materials: While missing shingles or apparent roof damage may be easy to spot, look for less-obvious signs such as loose or lifted roofing materials, curling or buckling shingles, or displaced flashing.
Leaning or Tilting Trees: Trees leaning or tilting, particularly those with visible root damage or soil upheaval around the base, may have sustained wind damage and pose a risk of falling.
Sagging or Displaced Gutters and Downspouts: Check gutters and downspouts for signs of sagging, detachment, or displacement, which could indicate wind damage or excessive stress on the drainage system.
