Gone with the Wind

I have my eye on you, pal.

Let's talk about wind for a moment. Sometimes, wind is useful. Windmills are a useful source of energy. Pollutants and other health hazards like smoke can be pushed along and cleared out of an area. Wind isn't always bad, but it can be.
Enter: your sliding glass door. We will call it "Charlie" for this example. You love Charlie. Charlie allows light, fresh air, and yes, even wind into your home. You clean Charlie weekly as a sign of your gratitude. Charlie is an alright guy in your book. One day in late spring, you notice that the weather is acting a bit odd. Random gusts of wind bend and push heavy tree branches above your home. Out of nowhere, one of these branches snaps off and launches a tree branch through Charlie, splintering the glass and allowing whatever critters nature has to offer free entry into your home. Rest in pieces, Charlie.

While the above story is a dramatization, we have seen multiple situations just like it take place. Many homes have glass sliders and windows, and just as many homes have nearby projectiles ready to be launched through said glass. If this happens to you, don't fret: SERVPRO of Hacienda Heights / Rowland Heights is just a phone call away. With over a decade of experience and the knowledge and products necessary to restore your home to preloss conditions, there is simply no better option.
