Wind is one of Mother Nature’s most powerful forces. Wind can cause a variety of damage to buildings. From catastrophic tornados and hurricane force winds to an afternoon squall or microburst, wind can do a lot more than tear off roofs and blow down buildings.
Wind driven rain is a leading cause of damage to dwellings. As strong winds and rain blow across the ground, they sweep up all types of contaminates that can inundate homes and buildings. Wind driven rain is considered Category 3 water, the most contaminated of the categories of water. To find out more about the categories of water click here.
One of the most immediate concerns is to mitigate the damages or “stop the bleeding”. That can mean putting a temporary tarp on the roof or fixing a plumbing issue to stop the source of water intrusion. Next is too assess the damage and limit secondary damage.
