Wind-Driven Rain: Reducing Interior Water Damage with Research
Interior water damage is one of the most frequent and costly insurance claims. Wind-driven rain acts as a damage amplifier—when forced inside by hurricanes, severe storms, or nor’easters, it can infiltrate through roofs, doors, windows, and even air conditioning units. The result is costly interior damage and prolonged displacement for families and businesses. IBHS researches these risks and delivers real-world solutions to keep water out and reduce losses.
