What Damage can the Wind do?

How to Help Prevent Wind Damage to Your Home

Owning a home that is highly susceptible to wind damage puts you and your family at higher risk of major damage. Dealing with an injury or the possible financial burden of a deteriorating house is a difficult weight to carry. Because of this, it is imperative that you take the necessary steps to prevent it from possibly occurring.

CLEAR THE AREA OF ANY DEBRIS THAT COULD CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE

Wind by itself is not all that dangerous to your home. The trouble comes when it blows any surrounding debris into the side of your house. Things such as rotting trees, branches, or even gravel can destroy your property if you are not careful. Removing these items from the area is an excellent way to nip any future problems in the bud. You may be hesitant to do this as removing trees from a property consumes both time and money; however, leaving it and putting your home at risk create the possibility of a bigger problem. Unfortunately, many homeowners fail to recognize this and end up dealing with the expensive damages left behind by the tree’s limbs.

SEAL ALL THE GAPS IN YOUR HOME

Sealing off the gaps and cracks in your home removes its vulnerability. These entry points allow wind and water to enter your home, possibly creating many other issues. Resealing the areas around your windows and doors with caulk will help prevent flooding and mold issues exacerbated by wind and moisture.
