What causes water damage in Oregon
Winter rain and flooding
Long storms saturate the ground and raise the Willamette and coastal rivers.
Ice storms and freezes
The January 2024 ice storm cut power for days around Portland and burst pipes across the metro area.
Crawl space moisture
Most homes west of the Cascades sit on crawl spaces that collect water in winter.
Homes and how they are built
Portland is full of bungalows and foursquares from the early 1900s, with basements in the oldest neighborhoods and crawl spaces elsewhere. Many still have galvanized supply lines and old sewer laterals.
When it happens
The wet season runs October through May. Freeze and ice events are most likely December through February.
Rules and insurance in Oregon
Anyone doing construction work on a home in Oregon must be licensed with the Construction Contractors Board. Check the license before hiring.
In every state, homeowners insurance excludes rising floodwater, which needs a separate flood policy. See what homeowners insurance covers.

Questions from Oregon homeowners
Why did so many pipes burst in Portland's ice storm?
Power outages left homes unheated for days, and pipes in crawl spaces and exterior walls froze. They leaked when the thaw came.
Why does my old Portland home's sewer back up?
Many early-1900s homes still have clay or concrete laterals that tree roots invade. A camera inspection shows whether it needs repair.
How do I check a contractor in Oregon?
Search the Construction Contractors Board website for the license number, bond and complaint history.
