5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Siding
Siding doesn’t always fail dramatically. Here are some subtle signs you might be due for an update:
- Cracks and warping: When siding starts to crack or buckle, you know it’s losing strength. The resulting gaps between the panels allow moisture to seep in, which can cause wood rot and mold growth.
- Peeling interior paint: Moisture that sneaks through damaged siding often gets into your drywall, leading to bubbling, peeling, or flaking paint inside your home. First, make sure plumbing or roof leaks aren’t to blame. If you rule out these causes, peeling wall paint could mean your siding isn’t doing its job.
- Mold growth: Dark streaks or fuzzy growth on your siding indicates moisture infiltration. Mold is a health hazard you should take seriously.
- Faded color: Siding that has faded after years of sun exposure may be UV-damaged. This means the material has broken down and no longer protects your home as effectively as it should.
- Frequent repairs: If you’re constantly fixing cracks, repainting, or dealing with rot, eventually it will be more cost-effective to replace the siding altogether.
