We respond to storm damage emergencies 24/7 in Lane County.

Each year, our local North Eugene and Northwest Lane County teams restore storm damage in Franklin. Summer storms can wreak havoc on properties if precautions aren't taken.

Water intrusion is one of the most common forms of damage caused by summer storms. Heavy rainfall can overwhelm drainage systems and lead to flooding, damaging crawl spaces, foundations, and interior spaces. Roof leaks can also occur, significantly if shingles are damaged or missing, allowing water to seep into the attic and walls.

Strong winds accompanying summer storms can cause extensive damage to homes, including roof damage, siding damage, and broken windows. Flying debris, such as branches, tree limbs, and even projectiles carried by the wind, can impact structures and cause significant harm.

Additionally, lightning strikes during summer storms risk fire damage to homes, particularly if they ignite dry vegetation, trees, or roofing materials. Electrical surges caused by lightning strikes can also damage home appliances, electronics, and electrical systems.

Summer storms can cause a wide range of damage to homes, including water intrusion, wind damage, hail damage, and fire damage. Homeowners should take proactive measures to protect their properties, such as maintaining drainage systems, securing loose objects, inspecting roofs and siding for damage, and installing surge protection devices.
