Siding rot behind vinyl and hardboard
Why it happens here
Water gets behind the siding through gaps, failed caulk, or ice dams, and it cannot dry out. Over time, the sheathing and framing start to rot. This is especially common on homes built before 1980 in the Deerfield Place and Hunt Road Corridor areas.
Our approach
We do not just cover up the problem. When we remove old siding, we inspect the sheathing and replace any rotten sections. Then we install new house wrap and flashing to keep water out for good.
