The severe windstorm caused significant structural compromise to the property, including roof failures and window breaches that compromised the integrity of the building envelope. Interior water intrusion also occurred, causing substantial damage to walls, ceilings, and floors.

Furthermore, the storm’s impact was felt throughout the property, with widespread damage to interior finishes, flooring, and ceilings. This destruction compromised the livability of the space, forcing the client to temporarily relocate while repairs were made. The overall assessment revealed a substantial need for costly repairs to bring the property back up to code.
