Winter Moisture is Capable of Negatively Impacting Your Home’s Siding

It is a known fact that winter is a season that may prove to be exceptionally tough on the exterior of the home – especially in terms of the siding. If not properly prepared and maintained, the cold temperatures and all forms of winter moisture – rain, ice, sleet, and snow – has the potential to negatively impact your home’s siding. Even the winds that occur during the winter months may prove to be damaging. The good news is, there are steps that you may take to avoid the negative consequences of all of that winter moisture.

Siding Inspection

At least twice a year, it is considered to be ideal to have a siding inspection performed. This inspection looks for rooting, warped pieces, paint chipping, loose pieces, pieces that are cracked, mold, mildew, signs of moisture damage, fading, rot, and complications that are similar in nature. If these issues are discovered, steps are taken to resolve the underlying problems so that no future problems develop.

Gutter System Installation

One of the best methods for reducing winter moisture damage to the siding of your home is to have a gutter system installed on your home. This system includes downspouts and other components that are designed to direct water away from the roof, the siding, and the foundation of your home. The best type of system is the Ultimate Gutter Guard Leaf-Free Gutter System. We here at Southern Industries Home Improvements specialize in these amazing gutter systems. Contact us today and inquire. Be sure to ask about our low-cost installation special.

Siding Replacement

If you find that the siding of your home has mold growing on it, cracks, splits, and other types of damage, it may be time to consider having the siding of your home completely replaced. If your area experiences harsh winters with a lot of moisture, you should avoid wood siding. In fact, you should consider placing weather-resistant vinyl siding on your home. The vinyl pieces are capable of withstanding the elements that occur in harsh weather areas better and longer than other types of siding. By installing this type of siding on your home, you will experience numerous benefits. These include peace of mind and lower rates on your homeowner’s insurance.
