Storms can catch you off guard and bring irreversible damage to your siding. If this happens, a prompt siding replacement may be necessary to restore your home’s former glory. Read on as Colonial Remodeling LLC, a premier siding contractor in the area, discusses the signs that your siding system has been damaged by a storm.

Signs of a Storm-Damaged Siding System

Cracks

Flying debris and wind-driven hail can hit your siding and wreak havoc on your home. These can also leave cracks on your exterior cladding, which often appear in half-circles. You may notice splits in you siding between the valley and ridges of the panel.

Chipping

This happens when a small piece of siding has broken away. A chip is often in a semi-circular shape and often occurs at the bottom of a siding panel ridge. You can spot this damage by looking up from the underneath of a panel section.

Loose or Missing Siding Material

Loose or missing siding panels can compromise your home’s protection. Get in touch with your local siding replacement contractor to provide necessary solutions.

Holes

Hail and debris impact can puncture your siding. This means that the insulation materials on your walls become susceptible to damage since water can slide through the holes. You may experience a sudden surge in your utility bill when this happens because your damaged insulation can push your HVAC system to work overtime.
