Wind Speed Categories
Types of Wind Damage We Handle
Straight-Line Wind Damage
High-velocity winds causing structural damage and debris impact
Winds 58+ mph (Severe Thunderstorm)
Common Damage Types:
- Roof membrane uplift
- Siding and window damage
- Tree and debris impact
- Structural frame stress
Downburst & Microburst Damage
Concentrated downdrafts creating localized severe wind damage
Winds 100+ mph in concentrated areas
Common Damage Types:
- Roof system failure
- Wall collapse potential
- Foundation shifting
- Complete structural compromise
Derecho Wind Damage
Widespread straight-line wind events causing regional destruction
Sustained winds 75+ mph over large areas
Common Damage Types:
- Regional power grid failure
- Widespread roof damage
- Mass tree failure
- Infrastructure collapse
Hidden Wind Damage Detection
Critical: Hidden Structural Damage
Wind damage often extends far beyond visible exterior damage. High winds create uplift forces and lateral pressures that can compromise structural connections, roof decking, and building systems throughout your property, even when exterior damage appears minimal.
Roof Decking Uplift Damage
Wind uplift forces cause roof decking separation and nail withdrawal, compromising structural integrity
Detection Method:
Thermal imaging, moisture detection, structural engineering assessment
Wall Sheathing Stress Damage
Lateral wind forces cause wall sheathing separation, nail withdrawal, and structural connection failure
Detection Method:
Structural inspection, connection testing, engineering evaluation
Window and Door Frame Damage
Wind pressure differential causes frame distortion, seal failure, and structural compromise
Detection Method:
Pressure testing, frame alignment measurement, seal integrity assessment
HVAC System Wind Damage
Wind forces damage rooftop units, ductwork connections, and ventilation systems
Detection Method:
System performance testing, ductwork inspection, equipment alignment check
Insulation Displacement Damage
Wind infiltration displaces insulation, reducing energy efficiency and causing moisture issues
Detection Method:
Thermal imaging, energy efficiency testing, moisture level assessment
Foundation Settlement from Wind
Extreme wind forces can cause foundation movement and settlement in vulnerable structures
Detection Method:
Foundation survey, crack monitoring, structural engineering assessment
Time-Sensitive Wind Damage Claims
Wind damage creates immediate vulnerabilities that worsen rapidly. Water infiltration through compromised roofing and siding can cause extensive secondary damage within hours.
