Siding does a lot more for your Maryland home than just making it look good. It also keeps it protected from the elements, keeping your home’s internal structure free from moisture damage. Siding also saves you money on energy bills by keeping cold in during the summer and retaining heat during the winter. With all these duties it’s important to know if your siding is failing or about to fail. Cedar Square Homes, your Maryland home improvement company, is here with a list of indicators that may signal that your siding needs to be replaced.
Buckled/ Warped Siding
With enough time and elemental exposure/ extreme changes in humidity, siding can start to buckle, collapsing in on itself. Once siding starts to warp its efficiency is immediately compromised and moisture can begin to enter and permanently damage your Maryland home. Head this problem off at the pass and replace it before it becomes serious.
Cracking and Peeling
Often caused by storm damage, cracked or peeled siding can spell serious trouble for your home if not taken care of quickly. Be on the lookout for large fissures or signs of siding separating from your Maryland home, and call a siding replacement professional when you see them.
Interior Water Damage
If you’ve noticed that your home’s interior paint or wallpaper has started to peel away from your walls, or if you’ve spotted permanent water stains, your home may be suffering from serious moisture damage which can prompt a buildup of mildew and mold. If you see any of these signs, your Maryland home’s siding may be compromised.
Dry Rot
A type of fungus that works its way inside via damaged or faulty siding, dry rot will attack and damage any wood it can find in your Maryland home. Problems affiliated with dry rot include unappealing decay and serious structural damage. If you see signs of dry rot, have the wood replaced immediately and call a siding replacement professional to have the root of the problem dealt with.
Increased Energy Bills
Siding helps your home maintain its energy efficiency, retaining heat during the colder months and keeping it out during the warmer ones. If you spot an unusual rise in your Maryland home’s energy consumption, and your HVAC system is functioning normally, damaged siding may be to blame.
