Siding Damage Warning Signs Every Homeowner Should Look For

Here are some signs you should stop ignoring when it comes to you the siding on your home before it causes bigger problems.

The siding on your home is almost the same as the roof. If it's exposed you have the potential for structural damage. Likewise you'll have that chance of mold and mildew buildup.

Start by looking for the signs that are the beginning of any siding problem.

1. Warping

2. Exposed Wood or Vinyl

3. Missing Panels

   1. Big storms can cause panels to fall out

   2. Water comes in right after that panel falls causing immediate damage

Just like the roof, when you don't have the siding protecting the internal components like the insulation, drywall and frame from moisture, you're going to have a problem. The moisture just sits there and becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, mold and mildew.

The buildup of bacteria, mold and mildew are an additional issue that requires a remediation service. Be sure to stay ahead of this with regular inspections of your home.

Warped siding? Missing panels? Exposed wood? These are early warning signs you can’t afford to ignore. Just like your roof, damaged siding can lead to water intrusion, mold, mildew, and even costly structural damage.
