Moisture Damage on Your Home’s Exterior? Time for Vinyl Siding Replacement

The material on your house’s exterior is supposed to protect the interior from the elements. If the outside of your home has been damaged by moisture, that’s a serious problem. Installing vinyl siding might be the best solution.

How Moisture Damage Can Affect Your Home and Family

Homeowners often underestimate the impact that moisture can have on their houses. Water that gets behind a home’s exterior material can damage wood beams, drywall, and insulation. It’s easy to miss moisture damage at first, and when it’s eventually discovered, it can be so widespread that it’s expensive to repair.

Moisture can also impact your family’s health. If your home’s exterior is damaged by water, that can cause mold inside the house. Exposure to mold can lead to respiratory problems, including asthma attacks and allergies. 

Why You Might Have to Replace Your Home’s Exterior Material 

If your house’s exterior has already been affected by moisture, it’s likely that the damage extends beneath the surface. To fully address the issue and prevent further problems, you’ll need to have remodeling contractors remove your home’s damaged outer covering, assess the full scope of the problem, replace any other materials that have been affected by moisture, then cover the exterior with a material that will keep water out in the future.

How Vinyl Siding Can Protect Your Home from Moisture Damage

Vinyl siding can shield your house’s interior from moisture. Panels are installed in an interlocking pattern and weep holes allow water to drain away from the house instead of seeping in under the siding. When vinyl siding is installed, other materials are also used to help keep out water and prevent moisture damage. 

Additional Benefits of Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is a durable, long-lasting, affordable, and attractive material that can do a lot more than just protect your home from moisture. Installing vinyl siding can make your house more energy efficient and lower your monthly heating and cooling bills. In addition, vinyl siding can dramatically improve your home’s curb appeal
