🏠Don’t Overlook Window Damage After a Storm
When high winds and heavy rain roll through North Texas — like the recent storms we experienced in Frisco and surrounding areas — most homeowners focus on their roof. But your windows are equally vulnerable to damage, and issues can often go unnoticed until it’s too late.
Here are 5 hidden signs your windows may have been damaged during the storm and why it’s important to act quickly.
1. Cracked or Shattered Glass
It might sound obvious, but small cracks from hail, windblown debris, or pressure stress can often go unnoticed — especially on upper-level windows. These cracks can expand over time, reducing your home’s energy efficiency and posing safety risks.
2. Drafts or Whistling Sounds
Do your windows suddenly feel drafty or make odd noises when the wind blows? Storm pressure or impact may have weakened the window seals or shifted the frame, allowing air leaks that drive up your energy bills.
3. Water Stains or Leaks Around the Frame
After a heavy downpour, inspect the inside of your home. If you see water stains on walls near your windows or detect any moisture, it could mean the storm compromised your window seals or flashing.
4. Foggy Glass or Condensation Between Panes
Double- and triple-pane windows should be sealed airtight. If you’re seeing condensation between the layers, it’s a sign the insulated glass unit (IGU) seal has failed — likely due to storm-related stress. This can drastically reduce energy efficiency.
5. Hard-to-Open Windows
If a previously smooth-sliding window suddenly sticks or feels off-track, it’s possible that the storm caused the frame to shift or warp, especially in wood or older vinyl frames.
🛠️ Why It Matters: Small Damage Can Lead to Big Repairs
