Wind Damage Severity Scale
Frequently Asked Questions
What wind speed causes structural damage?
Wind damage can begin at speeds as low as 63 km/h (gale force), which can dislodge loose items and damage fences. Storm force winds of 88 to 117 km/h cause significant structural damage including roof lifting and cladding removal. Cyclonic winds above 118 km/h can cause catastrophic damage.
Is wind damage covered by home insurance?
Most standard home insurance policies cover wind and storm damage. However, coverage can vary between insurers and policy types. Our team provides detailed documentation, structural reports, and photographic evidence to support your insurance claim and maximise your entitlements.
What is the difference between cyclone and storm damage?
Cyclone damage is caused by sustained winds exceeding 118 km/h with associated heavy rainfall and storm surge. Standard storm damage involves severe weather events with lower wind speeds. Both are typically covered by insurance, though cyclone-prone areas may have specific policy conditions.
How should I prepare my property for high winds?
Secure loose outdoor items, trim overhanging branches, check roof fixings and flashing, ensure gutters are clear, and reinforce garage doors. For cyclone-prone areas, install approved window shutters and ensure your property meets current building codes for wind resistance.
What temporary securing options are available after wind damage?
We provide emergency board-up for windows and doors, temporary roofing with heavy-duty tarps, structural bracing for weakened walls, and debris clearance to make your property safe. These measures are deployed within hours and protect your property until permanent repairs are completed.
