Siding damage is usually gradual, which is why so many homeowners miss it until it's expensive. Keep an eye out for these warning signs.
Warped sections mean water has likely gotten in behind the siding — if it's not addressed, the damage moves inward.
Cracks let water straight through to the wall behind them — this is one of the fastest ways to develop rot.
If paint or wallpaper is peeling on an interior wall, exterior siding is often the cause — it's almost always connected.
Gaps and damage in siding let conditioned air escape and outside air in — upgrading to insulated siding often brings bills back down.
