Window upkeep is an important aspect of home maintenance that homeowners should make room for in their routines if they want their windows to experience long lifespans. While this doesn't have to be a daily task, you'll definitely want to inspect your windows for storm damage after severe weather hits your town!

Energy Home Pros is a window replacement company based out of San Antonio. We have over 75 years of combined industry experience, making us local experts on everything related to window installations and replacements.

After a storm, here are our top tips for identifying any damage left to your windows as a result!

Hail Damage

Hailstorms can affect our homes in many ways—our roofing, siding and doors could be compromised, as well as our windows. Because of their volume, larger windows such as picture windows are most likely to have damage done to the window panes themselves. Look for things like:

  • Cracked Glass
  • Chipped Glass
  • Shattered Glass

Other components of windows can be affected by hail as well. Dents in window frames or torn screens are also obvious indicators that your window needs immediate attention following a hailstorm.

Wind Damage

Energy Home Pros deal with a lot of window replacements due to wind damage. With San Antonio situated only 140 miles from the Gulf, the high winds and other elements of tropical storms are known to hit our city from time to time.

The most noticeable signs of damage to look for in your windows after being exposed to high wind speeds include:

  • Cracks or Holes in Glass Panes
  • Loose or Cockeyed Window Frames or Sashes
  • Missing Shutters
  • Loose or Torn Weather Stripping

Water Damage

After heavy rains have fallen on your city, you'll definitely want to perform a thorough inspection around your windows. Water damage can eventually lead to mold growth, which is a nightmare for homeowners to deal with. Get on top of any possible water leaks by looking closely at your glass panes. If you can see fog or moisture build up between the individual panes, your windows aren't sealed properly. 

Water stains are another easy-to-spot sign that the last rainfall damaged your windows. If you notice yellow or brown water stains on the wall or floor beneath your window, along with peeling paint, water is leaking into your interior, which you'll want to call a trusted window contractor about right away!
