Common Signs of Storm-Damaged Windows

Wyoming is known for its harsh winter season that can leave windows broken due to the strong winds and storms that carry debris along with it. With that said, it helps to be familiar with the telltale signs that your windows have been damaged due to a storm.

Broken Windows

If you find out that your windows are broken, it’s most likely that this was caused by debris carried by storm winds. Keep in mind that storms can bring about winds that go up to 90 miles per hour (mph) that carry debris like branches, rocks and hail that can shatter your windows. If your windows aren’t broken, there’s a good chance that it would have broken your window pane, without completely destroying it.

Damaged Window Frame

Similar to your panes, your window frame can get damaged in the event of a strong storm. During an inspection, your window contractor would show you that your frame could’ve been dented due to the impact of the debris. It’s also possible that your windows have been warped due to the moisture buildup, along with the strong rain.

If this is the case, you’ll need to get new replacement windows since having a damaged window will harm your home’s safety as well as its energy efficiency. Even if you have it repaired, you’ll find out that it won’t perform the same way again.
