雷击甚至有可能造成火灾和撞击损害，因为您房屋中的元素并非旨在吸收这种能量。
我首先要和谁交谈？
如果您的房屋损坏，请联系您的保险公司。他们可能会要求您与结构工程师联系以检查损坏，或者可以任命工程师来访问并进行评估。
处理暴风雨损害可能需要什么样的工作？
如果您对损坏是否导致结构性问题有疑问，或者对负载元素（墙壁，地板，柱子，屋顶）造成明显损坏，那么直到专业人员检查了损坏之前，您不应进入房屋。
如果有明显的伤害，例如破裂砌体或撞击损害，可能需要支撑和支撑；早期评估和适当的行动可能意味着总损害可能受到限制。
对织物的微小破坏，例如丢失的瓷砖，不需要结构工程师，但是如果损坏无人看管，则可能会随着时间的流逝而发展，例如由于进水造成的损害。
为什么需要一名结构工程师？
如果建筑物因洪水或撞击而受到异常负担，则结构的状况及其继续支撑正常负载的能力应由结构工程师评估。
Structures are designed to be robust and can implicitly withstand some forces that would be considered ‘accidental’, but the reassurance provided by a professional inspection can be worth a lot at such an unsettling time.
What can I expect the structural engineer to provide and/or guarantee?
The engineer is likely to report initially, but then need to follow up with more investigations or design work as a result. Professional engineers should have professional indemnity insurance to provide cover in the rare event that their advice is defective.
