When it comes to identifying wind damage on windows, there are several common indications to look for. Exterior Pro can help you recognize these signs and provide expert guidance. Here are the key indicators of wind damage to windows:
Cracked or shattered glass: Strong winds can cause windows to crack or shatter. Inspect your windows for any visible cracks, chips, or broken glass, which are clear signs of wind damage.
Leaks or drafts: High winds can loosen window seals or dislodge weatherstripping, leading to air leaks or drafts around the window frame. Check for any noticeable air movement or water infiltration when it rains.
Misaligned or warped frames: Severe wind gusts can exert pressure on windows, causing frames to become misaligned or warped. Look for gaps or uneven spacing between the window frame and the wall, as well as difficulty in opening or closing the window.
Damaged hardware: Wind damage may affect the hardware components of windows, such as hinges, latches, or handles. Check for any visible signs of damage or if the window does not operate smoothly.
Water stains or moisture accumulation: If wind-driven rain penetrates the damaged window, it can cause water stains or moisture buildup on the interior walls or around the window frame. Look for discoloration, peeling paint, or mold growth as indications of water damage.
Broken or bent window screens: Strong winds can damage or completely detach window screens. Inspect your screens for any tears, holes, or bending caused by wind-blown debris.
Visible dents or scratches: Debris carried by high winds can strike windows, resulting in dents, scratches, or visible marks on the glass or window frame. Carefully examine the surface for any signs of impact damage.
