We restore storm damage 24 hours a day in Lane County.

Our local North Eugene and Northwest Lane County teams are storm damage restoration leaders in Franklin. After heavy rains, inspecting your home for signs of water intrusion is essential to catch potential damage early. Identifying issues promptly can mitigate further damage and avoid costly repairs.

Start by checking your crawl space for signs of dampness, puddles, or water stains on the walls. If you notice moisture, this could indicate that water has seeped into your foundation. Also, look for mold or mildew growth signs, which can signal a hidden leak.

Next, inspect around doors and windows for water stains, peeling paint, or softened wood. These are common areas where water can enter your home, especially if seals are damaged.

In the attic, check for any wet insulation, water stains on the ceiling, or mold growth, which may suggest that water is entering through the roof. Finally, examine the exterior walls and foundation for cracks or other signs of water damage.

Regular post-storm inspections can help you identify water intrusion issues early, allowing for timely repairs and preventing more extensive damage to your home.
