Strong Winds Break Windows and Down Trees and Powerlines in Springfield?
6/11/2024 (Permalink)
Our Springfield and East Lane County teams respond to storm damage emergencies every year in Lane County. In Springfield, windstorms can significantly threaten properties, causing various types of damage depending on the storm's severity.
One common form of damage is roof damage, where strong winds can lift shingles, tiles, or metal panels, leading to leaks and water damage inside the property. Additionally, windstorms can break windows and doors, allowing wind-driven rain and debris to enter the building, resulting in water damage to interiors and furnishings.
Falling trees and branches are another hazard during windstorms, especially in mature or wooded areas. These can damage roofs, siding, and windows and, in severe cases, even cause structural collapse. Windborne debris, such as loose objects, signs, or fencing, can become projectiles, causing impact damage to buildings and vehicles.
Power outages are also common during windstorms, as strong winds can bring down power lines and disrupt electrical infrastructure. This can affect the comfort and safety of occupants and lead to food spoilage, property damage from surges when power is restored, and potential security risks.
Overall, windstorms can potentially cause a range of property damage, including roof damage, water infiltration, structural damage from falling trees, impact damage from windborne debris, and disruptions due to power outages.
