When to Plan House Siding Replacement
Most siding materials are strong, and when put together properly, they may survive for a long time. However, they are not impervious, which is why many homeowners may experience siding problems at some point in their lives. Some of these problems can be fixed by professionals through repairs, while others need the siding materials to be completely replaced. If you are a property owner and see any of these symptoms, you should call a house siding replacement company.
Dry Rot
Fungi, which frequently assault siding from below the surface and cause dry rot, are to blame. Due to this, many siding boards appear in good shape on the outside but are hollow and rotten inside. Tap your siding with a pair of pliers’ rubber handles to check if it has dry rot (or any other tool). It probably has dry rot and has to be replaced if it makes a hollow sound.
Serious Insect Damage
You might get away with removing the infested siding boards and replacing them with new ones if you catch insect infestation in its early stages (after ensuring that all the insects have been eliminated, of course). The best course of action is to replace all the siding if the damage is too severe. Work with a pest control business in advance to ensure that all pests have gone and to stop them from returning. If you don’t, your new siding will continue to be harmed by insects, costing you time and money.
General Cracking
It’s typical to notice a few siding boards with cracks, but you can replace the damaged material with new ones. However, if significant portions of your siding are cracking, it may be an indication of more serious problems that require rapid treatment. Request an immediate siding inspection by calling your siding contractor.
