Vinyl siding is one of the most common materials for home exteriors, but it isn’t fully resistant to the elements. Your vinyl will become damaged over time, facilitating an appointment with a siding specialist. Here are three common problems with vinyl siding you may experience.

3 Vinyl Siding Issues to Address

1. Warping

If your vinyl siding is installed too tightly and doesn’t have any give to it, warping will likely happen. This is especially problematic in high-temperature environments with consistently hot days. If you do have warped siding, the only course of action is to get it replaced.

2. Mold & Mildew

Without a waterproof barrier, your vinyl siding will be vulnerable to excess moisture build-up. Left unaddressed, moisture behind your siding can lead to mildew, mold, leaks, and rotting. This can be especially problematic in areas with high precipitation and when areas of your siding don’t receive enough sunlight to dry it out. To avoid these problems, a contractor can seal your siding with a moisture barrier.

3. Fading

If some areas of your home receive more sunlight than others, you may notice spots of discoloration or bleaching. While fading is typically more of an eyesore than anything else, with prolonged neglect, your siding may become more vulnerable to cracking. If your siding cracks, it should be replaced.
