How to Visually Inspect Your Home After a Windstorm in Cottage Grove?
7/9/2024 (Permalink)
Our Springfield and East Lane County teams restore wind damage in Cottage Grove every year. After a windstorm look for visual signs of damage:
Checking the Roof: Examine the roof for missing, loose, or damaged shingles or tiles. Look for any signs of debris that might have caused impact damage. You can use binoculars to get a closer look without climbing.
Inspecting Exterior Walls and Siding: Walk around the exterior of your home and look for cracks, dents, or holes in the siding. Check for loose panels or bricks and any signs of impact from flying debris.
Examining Windows and Doors: Check all windows and doors for cracks, broken glass, and damaged frames. Ensure that seals and weather stripping are intact. Open and close each door and window to ensure proper function.
Surveying the Yard: Look for fallen branches, uprooted trees, and debris that could have damaged your home. Check fences, sheds, and other structures for stability and integrity.
Checking Gutters and Downspouts: Ensure that gutters and downspouts are securely attached and free from blockages.
Interior Check: Inside, inspect ceilings and walls for water stains, cracks, or other signs of leaks.
