How Storm Damage Can Impact the Integrity of Your Home

When a storm comes through, homeowners should take the time to inspect their home to make sure no damage occurred. Even if you can’t see obvious signs of damage, it’s still a good idea to have an inspection following any significant weather damage.

There are many ways that storm damage can leave your home vulnerable to secondary damage. These include:

  • Roof Damage: This is one of the most common types of damage caused by hail and wind. From shingle blowoff to fallen trees, roofs often take a hit. When your roof sustains even minor damage, it leaves your home susceptible to secondary issues.
  • Structural Damage: Any damage to the roof, siding, foundation, or walls can weaken the stability of your home. If your home was damaged in any way, having a general inspection of the entire property is a good idea.
  • Mold Infestation: Mold can be easy to spot, or it can be hidden. Either way, it leaves you and your family vulnerable to health issues—in the most extreme cases, mold causes serious health issues. A leak in the roof and other water infiltration situations often lead to mold if not handled properly.
  • Electrical Issues: Water damage can cause electrical issues that leave your home vulnerable to fire, shocks, and other problems. A compromised electrical system is an example of damage that may be difficult to identify, so if your home has been infiltrated by water, contact a professional to have an inspection performed.
