Wind Damage in Lubbock, TX

10/11/2021 (Permalink)

The windiest time of the year here in Lubbock, Texas is January through June. It is only October, but it is never too early to prepare your homes and commercial buildings so that you can limit the amount of damage the West Texas winds can cause. 

Strong winds can cause the shingles on your roof to loosen or even fall off. Strong winds can cause trees, tree limbs or other objects to fall on top of your home or commercial buildings and cause immense damage. Strong winds can cause your windows to break and even the doors to the outside of your home to come off. Strong winds can also cause old homes and buildings to collapse because of the weakened materials the house was built with.

Some ways to help limit the damage the strong winds can cause to your home is:

1. Get your home and roof inspected yearly
2. Think about installing impact-resistant windows
3. Trim the trees in your yard
4. Secure your shingles with nails or staples
5. Bring any furniture that you keep outside inside

These are just a couple of ways you can try and limit the damage wind causes to your homes and buildings.
