Here are 5 hidden signs your windows may have been damaged during the storm and why it’s important to act quickly.
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.
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.

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.
