Do you see unusual changes to your home’s siding — perhaps some loose panels, discoloration or visible moisture damage? If so, it might be in trouble. But what’s causing these issues? In this post, a residential and commercial roofing and siding contractor delves deeper into the common siding problems you might face and uncovers the top culprits behind them.
Warping and buckling can occur when the siding material is improperly installed or when extreme temperature fluctuations create unequal expansion and contraction. These issues can make the siding material appear warped or bubble in certain areas.
This is another common enemy of siding. Moisture and water damage can occur when the siding seal deteriorates or the siding is improperly maintained. Without an effective seal, moisture finds a way to seep in, creating the perfect environment for mold, wood rot and other issues to develop.
Blown-in insulation is essential in helping to reduce moisture damage. Not only does it reduce air infiltration into walls, but it also helps trap air and prevent condensation.
These can make your home appear aged and worn out, sometimes indicating material wear. Fading and discoloration occur due to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, leading to the degradation of the material itself.
These are clear indications that your siding is compromised, leaving your home exposed. Loose or missing siding panels can be the result of harsh weather conditions. Strong winds, for instance, can break or damage individual siding sections.
