Indianapolis sits at the intersection of multiple weather systems where cold Canadian air collides with warm Gulf moisture. This creates violent spring supercells with large hail, tornadoes, and damaging winds. The National Weather Service reports Indianapolis averages 39 thunderstorm days annually with peak activity from April through June. Summer microbursts produce localized wind damage exceeding 80 miles per hour. Winter brings freezing rain that loads roofs beyond design capacity and creates ice dams that force water under shingles. These conditions demand immediate professional storm damage mitigation to prevent total property loss.
Indianapolis building codes require specific wind resistance standards, but older homes predate modern requirements. Properties built before 1995 may lack proper roof-to-wall connections and adequate shear bracing. Historic districts near downtown contain structures with aged building envelopes vulnerable to wind-driven rain. Local contractors familiar with Indianapolis construction understand these vulnerabilities and implement mitigation strategies that work with existing building systems.
