What Damage Can A Spring Seasonal Storm Cause?

3/15/2021 (Permalink)

As we all know, spring in Fairfield County is unpredictable.  One thing we know though, is that storms are probably inevitable during the spring season.  These storms can bring various damage-causing conditions with them, such as high-speed winds, substantial rainfall, and flooding. These can leave you facing damage to your home or business that could be expensive to fix, and may displace you for a period of time. 

There are a few main types of damage that you may suffer.  Learn more about the types below, and what can lead to them during a springtime storm.

Water Damage

Water can seep in through roof damage that occurred before the storm, or as a result of the storm. Damaged shingles and faulty roofs play a role in this.  If gutters or filled with leaves, they can also contribute to damage. Rainwater can flow into your basement, even if your sump pump is working and gets overloaded.

Structural Damage

Debris and trees can fall onto your home, as well as break windows and dent cars.

Fire Damage

A fire can result from a lightning strike.  This could be caused by the strike itself, or from your own electrical system not being able to handle the surge in power.

Other damage can result from water that is not detected, which leads to mold growth.  Animals can also come in through damaged areas in the structure.
