When Glass Breaks — Here's What to Do First
A broken window, shattered storefront, or cracked door glass can happen without warning. Whether it's from a storm, an accident, or a break-in, the first few minutes matter. Here's exactly what to do.
Step 1: Stay Safe
Do not touch broken glass with bare hands. Keep children and pets away from the area. If it's a large commercial window or door, block the area to prevent injuries.
Step 2: Secure the Area
For a broken storefront or business window, cover the opening immediately with plywood or heavy plastic sheeting to protect your property from weather and unauthorized entry.
For a home window, use thick tape and plastic wrap as a temporary seal until a professional arrives.
Step 3: Document the Damage
Take photos before cleaning anything up. If the break was caused by vandalism or a break-in, file a police report and contact your insurance company before repairs begin.
