Window damage after storms
Hailstones and wind-driven debris may strike windows with enough force to crack glass, dent frames, or damage exterior seals. Even when glass remains intact, impact damage may still occur around window frames or exterior trim.
After severe storms, property owners sometimes request inspections to determine whether windows were affected by hail or debris impacts.
Common signs of storm-damaged windows
- Cracked or chipped window glass
- Dents or impact marks on aluminum window frames
- Loose exterior window trim or seals
- Air or water leaks appearing after storms
These conditions may indicate storm impact, but full confirmation may require professional inspection and documentation.
Exterior inspection safety
Storm damage assessments sometimes require inspecting windows located on upper floors or along rooflines. Attempting to access these areas without proper equipment can be dangerous.
Property owners should avoid climbing ladders or accessing elevated areas to inspect storm damage themselves.
Inspection professionals use appropriate safety procedures to evaluate windows and surrounding structures safely.
