What Lies Beneath Your Home's Rotting Siding?

Mar 16, 2024

Do you know what lies beneath your home's rotting siding? Moisture, pests, and all sorts of damage could pose a risk to the integrity of your home. Here's a look at what might be under your rotting siding and how Power Construction can help you fix it.

Moisture Infiltration and Damage

When you find rotting siding on your home, water infiltration is usually to blame. Water from melting snow and ice can seep through rotted areas of siding and penetrate the walls of your home. When left untreated, this can cause not only water damage, but mold and mildew growth that can be hazardous to your family's health. Water can damage both the exterior and interior of your home, including siding, insulation, and in severe cases, interior finishes.

Pests!

You know who loves rotting, decaying, wood? Termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-boring insects. If left unaddressed, rotting siding can also attract larger critters such as woodpeckers and squirrels. These pests can wreak havoc on your home's structure and become unwanted guests in your home.

Structural Damage

We've alluded a few times to the structural damage rotting siding can cause, so let's take a closer look at how siding damage can put your entire home at risk. Rot spreads. Any rot on your siding can quickly extend to the underlying structure of your home, including the wooden framework or sheathing. That's how rot puts the overall structure of your home at risk.
