Strong winds can loosen or rip off sections of home siding, exposing the structure to moisture and temperature fluctuations. Flying debris carried by wind can dent, crack, or puncture siding, diminishing the home's aesthetic and protective barrier. Vinyl siding is particularly vulnerable to cracking in high winds, while wood siding may split or warp. Missing or damaged siding can lead to water infiltration, which risks mold growth and structural damage over time. Immediate inspection and repair are crucial to maintaining the home's durability and energy efficiency.
