Windstorm damage can come in many forms: Hurricanes, Tornadoes and Straight Line winds, and microbursts from severe thunderstorms all capable of producing high winds in excess of 50mph.
While much of the resulting property damage can be obvious (missing or lifted shingles, torn or removed roofing systems, broken windows, etc) these perils can also result in unseen damages that can cause significant losses in the future.
“Zippered” shingles, lifted tile or metal sheeting that pulls nails and fasteners loose, large sections of lifting, stress to delicate weather seal barriers on windows, roof penetrations, fittings, and joints, as well as internal structural damage from side-load forces to the exterior of the structure resulting in the ceiling and wall cracks, doors and other portals not closing properly, loss of exterior surfaces like brick and stucco are all possible results from a windstorm event. All of which can compromise the weatherproofing of a structure.
