We respond to water damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Lane County.

Water intrusion is a term used by insurance companies to describe damage caused by water entering the home from an outside source. Some examples would be a clogged storm drain, rain gutter, or downspout causing water to enter and flood a structure. Roof damage is another way water can enter a home.

Our local North Eugene and Northwest Lane County team offer these helpful tips for identifying water intrusion damage:

• Dents in your siding
• Visible damage to the roof facia
• Visible signs of the roof flashing
• Water spots on your ceiling or walls

Visible Signs of Storm Damage from the Ground

1. Collection of shingle granules – If you see an abundance of asphalt granules in your yard and landscaping, your roof has storm damage.
2. Clogged Gutters – Leaking and clogged gutters often indicate roof storm damage. Unrepaired damage can cause your roof to leak and may cause foundation damage if the water is not draining away from the structure.
3. Property damage – If your vehicles and property show signs of damage, your roof may have storm damage, too.
4. Broken, cracked, and missing shingles – Check for missing and damaged shingles, including curled, cracked, or torn shingles. Wood shingles can show signs of splitting, curling, or decay, and low-slope roofs can have cracks, tears, wrinkles, and blisters.
