What to Do If There Is Broken Glass In Your Home
Whether it's a shattered windowpane, a shattered sliding door, or a leaky skylight, a quick response is key to prevent further damage and ensure your safety.
Safety First:
- Secure the Area: Immediately clear the area around the broken glass to avoid injuries from shards. Ensure children and pets are not near the broken glass.
- Minimize Further Damage: If possible, cover the opening with a tarp or plywood sheet to prevent wind, rain, or debris from entering your home. For skylights, consider placing a bucket underneath to catch any leaks. Be sure you wear proper footwear and gloves to avoid injury.
- Shut Off Alarms (if applicable): Broken glass can trigger security alarms. Be sure to shut it down once you've secured the area.
Taking Action:
- Document the Damage: Take pictures or videos of the broken glass, especially if it may be related to an insurance claim. Ensure noting the time of the incident and any potential causes.

What situations constitute an urgent glass replacment or repair?
An emergency refers to any situation where a broken or damaged window or door compromises the safety and security of your home. You may need home emergency glass repair services if there is:
- Shattered glass: A window or door with shattered glass creates an opening for anyone to enter your home. This is a major security risk and requires immediate attention.
- Large cracks: Large cracks weaken the window's structure and can easily expand, further compromising its integrity.
- Missing window pane: A window with a missing pane exposes your home to the elements, including rain, wind, and extreme temperatures.
If you're unsure whether your glass damage is an emergency, err on the side of caution and contact a professional for an assessment.
Are there any tips to prevent break-ins through windows?
This seems obvious, but it's important to ensure all windows are locked, especially on ground floors and easily accessible areas. Consider adding security bars on basement windows or other vulnerable areas. An alarm system with window sensors can deter potential break-ins and alert you if a window is forced open. Also, avoid displaying valuables near windows to discourage potential thieves.
Can I get an estimate for my broken, chipped or cracked window or door in an emergency?
We can provide a rough estimate over the phone or online, but the final cost will be determined only after we physically see the damage. There are many ways that damage can affect whether the window needs to be repaired or replaced.
Can you replace just one pane of glass on a double-pane window?
No, you will need to replace both window panes. Most double or triple-pane windows are manufactured in a quality-controlled environment and sealed to keep air or gas trapped between the panes. Once the seal has failed, the water and staining that occurs from condensing and evaporating leave a hazy film on the glass that cannot be cleaned to perfection.
