First separate unsafe conditions from routine observations

This form is not an emergency dispatch service and does not guarantee a response time. Keep people away from sagging ceilings, wet electrical fixtures, falling materials, or unsafe rooms. Contact appropriate local emergency or qualified repair services directly when immediate help is needed; do not wait for this form to be answered.

Do not touch wet electrical equipment, puncture a ceiling, climb ladders, enter unsafe attics, clear roof drains, or attempt roof tarping. Take photos only from a safe indoor location or from the ground.

If water is entering now

Notify the owner or property manager through the established urgent-maintenance contact. Record the room or suite and when water was first seen only if safe. Keep occupants away from the affected area; a qualified professional should decide how to control the leak and whether access is safe.

If you found an old, dry stain

Record its location, first-noticed date, and any known changes during rain. Do not assume a dry stain is harmless or that it came from hail. Roof wear, plumbing, condensation, and other sources may need professional assessment. Request a non-emergency inspection call and describe what is known versus uncertain.

A short leak log for owners, managers and HOA boards

  1. Assign a building, unit and room reference to each report; keep occupant names and contact details in private records.
  2. Record observation dates separately from suspected hail or rain dates. Use unknown when the timing is uncertain.
  3. Describe active dripping, a dry stain, or a reported concern without diagnosing the cause.
  4. Keep original dated photos taken safely and existing repair records. Do not alter images to emphasize damage.
  5. Identify the owner or authorized manager who can coordinate access. Never put keys, gate codes, alarm codes, or tenant personal information in the request form.

A report after the summer 2025 Bend hail window is not proof of storm exposure or damage at a particular property. This checklist establishes no insurance deadline, coverage, claim approval, or replacement entitlement.

When to request a call

A safe first-step page for owners who need to organize leak details, access notes, and storm timing before a roof inspection call. The call helps decide whether a professional roof inspection should be scheduled and what details should be ready first.

  • Room and ceiling location
  • Date first noticed
  • Weather window before leak
  • Safe interior photos

Safe first-step checklist

  • Do not climb the roof.
  • Take photos from the ground only if safe.
  • Note property access, pets, tenants, gates, and steep areas.
  • Track leak/stain rooms and approximate dates noticed.
  • Use the main form to request an inspection call.

Hail

Dents on vents, gutters, flashing, or other soft metals can help decide whether closer review is worthwhile.

Wind

Lifted, creased, shifted, or missing shingles may not be obvious from the driveway.

Leaks

Ceiling staining or attic moisture after a storm window should be documented before it spreads.

Questions Bend property owners ask

Should I climb on the roof to check hail damage?

No. Use ground-level observations, interior leak signs, and safe photos only. A professional can decide whether roof access is appropriate.

Can this guarantee insurance coverage?

No. The page is for an inspection-call request and triage. Coverage, claim decisions, and replacement scope depend on policy language, observed damage, documentation, and insurer review.

What signs matter after hail or wind?

Dented gutters or vents, granule buildup near downspouts, bruised or lifted shingles, ceiling stains, active leaks, skylight damage, and debris impact areas can all be worth documenting.
