After a severe storm passes your area, it can cause serious damage to your siding system. During this point, you can opt to have your siding repaired or replaced. It can be a hassle to deal with, especially if it’s your first time encountering such an incident. Fortunately, your trusted siding installation and repair expert, Peninsula Siding Company, Inc., shares tips and tricks to help you resolve a storm-damaged siding unit.
Look for a Suitable Alternative
If you’re going to replace your damaged siding, it can be difficult to look for the exact same siding panels. This holds true if the product’s original manufacturer halted production of the siding material, or it’s also possible that they’re no longer in business. At this point, you can have your whole home re-sided, or look for similar, or better alternatives to your previous unit.
Signs of Siding Damage to Watch Out For
There are some siding materials, such as vinyl that are naturally durable, beautiful, and low maintenance, they can still be seriously damaged during a weather event. Here are some serious signs of damage to look out for:
- Cracking. You might notice splits or cracks that run parallel to your siding, or even in half circles found in small spaces, such as ridges, and the valleys of your siding unit.
- Breaking and Holes. If a storm passes your area, you might notice holes or broken parts of your siding caused by strong impact from wind-thrown debris. Your home’s siding will no longer be able to function properly and will drop in energy efficiency.
- Chipping. You’ll notice that your siding is chipped if you find bits and pieces of your panel broken off. Oftentimes, the part that gets broken off is located below the siding panel ridge where resistance is at a minimum.
To solve these problems, you’ll need to call on your local siding company for assistance. Conduct a preliminary inspection so that you can fully understand the scope of the situation. Don’t hesitate to have it repaired or replaced at the soonest to restore your home to full functionality, beauty, and safety.
