Our local South Eugene and Florence team is a leader in ice dam damage restoration services. Ice storms can wreak havoc on homes, causing a range of damage that impacts both the exterior and interior. Here are some of the ways ice storms can contribute to ice dams and property damage:

Gutter and Downspout Damage:  Ice dams can form in gutters and downspouts, preventing proper drainage. This can result in ice dams backing up under shingles, damaging the roof, and causing leaks.

Siding Damage: Ice storms can coat a home's exterior with layers of ice. As ice expands, it can crack or warp siding materials, leading to the need for repairs or replacements.

Foundation Cracks: Water from melting ice can seep into the ground and freeze, leading to heaving and cracking of the foundation.

Tree Limb Damage: Ice can accumulate on tree limbs, causing them to break and fall onto the home's roof or power lines, potentially damaging the roof or causing power outages.

Interior Damage: If ice dams form and allow water to penetrate the roof, it can lead to interior damage. Ceilings, walls, and insulation can become saturated, resulting in stains, mold growth, and structural deterioration.

Frozen Pipes: Extremely cold temperatures during ice storms can freeze water pipes, leading to pipe bursts and water damage inside the home.
