Wind Storms: Protecting Your Home from Destruction in Pleasant Hill?
10/29/2024 (Permalink)
Our local Springfield and East Lane County teams are on call and ready to respond to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Pleasant Hill. Wind storms, which bring intense gusts of wind without necessarily being part of a more extensive storm system, frequently cause residential property damage.
Wind speeds during these events can exceed 60 mph, with gusts capable of tearing shingles off roofs, breaking windows, and damaging siding. Trees and power lines can sometimes be uprooted, posing further risk to homes.
One of the primary dangers of wind storms is flying debris. Loose objects in the yard, such as outdoor furniture, trash bins, or children’s toys, can be lifted by the wind and thrown against homes, causing damage to windows, siding, and even doors. In severe cases, wind storms can lead to structural damage, including roof collapses or weakened foundations.
Homeowners can mitigate wind storm damage by securing loose outdoor items, regularly inspecting and reinforcing their roofs, and trimming nearby trees. Installing impact-resistant windows and doors can also offer extra protection. Wind storms may be unpredictable, but preparation is key to safeguarding your home from costly destruction.
