Florence Home Sustains Damage During Harsh Winter Storm?
1/30/2024 (Permalink)
Our South Eugene and Florence teams respond to storm damage emergencies often during the winter. Winter storms in the Pacific Northwest can cause various types of damage to homes due to the region's unique weather patterns, which include heavy rainfall, snowfall, freezing temperatures, and strong winds. Some common types of damage include:
Roof Damage: Heavy snow and freezing rain can accumulate on roofs, potentially causing leaks, ice dams, and structural damage. Strong winds can also lift or dislodge roofing materials.
Water Intrusion: The combination of heavy rainfall and freezing temperatures can lead to water infiltration through roofs, walls, and foundations, resulting in water damage, mold, and rot.
Frozen Pipes: Freezing temperatures can cause water pipes to freeze and burst, leading to significant water damage inside homes.
Flooding: Excessive rainfall can saturate the ground, increasing the risk of flooding in low-lying areas and crawl spaces.
Tree Damage: Snow and ice accumulation on trees can cause branches or entire trees to fall onto homes, damaging roofs, siding, and windows.
Power Outages: Strong winds and ice can down power lines, resulting in power outages and potential damage to electrical systems.
Structural Damage: Prolonged exposure to wet and freezing conditions can weaken building materials, leading to structural damage over time.
