While the worst of Tropical Storm Debby veered well to the west of Brockton, some heavy rains and strong winds did cause damage to residential and commercial buildings. Because we’re a glass service, we’re going to focus on what you, as a property owner, should be looking for when inspecting your windows and doors after an extreme weather event.
Puddles are a Big Sign of Trouble: Tropical Storm Edition
If you have puddles, even small ones, inside your house during or after an extreme weather event like Tropical Storm Debby, it’s a sign that there’s a problem with your windows and doors. Their entire purpose is to keep the weather outside. If water is coming into the home, it’s either coming in through or around your windows. The issue could be with the window glass, seal, or the way the window is installed. The only way to know for certain is to have your local glass service check the situation out.
Cracks, Chips, and Broken Glass – All Red Flags for Home Safety and Security
One of the issues with Tropical Storms, Hurricanes, and other weather events is the way strong winds pick up debris and move it at high speed into your home. Pragmatically, there is nothing you can do to totally protect your home from this kind of damage – storm winds can drive tree branches through solid walls during extreme weather events – but after the storm is over, you want to check the condition of your windows. Cracks, chips, and broken glass that are immediately visible warrant a call to your local glass service. Smaller damage still compromises your home’s security and ability to withstand any future weather events, so you’ll want to have those broken windows repaired right away.
