Defective Siding
Generally referred to as fake siding or fake wood siding, the most common form of defective siding is that of the composite or synthetic wood siding. Made from a mixture of woodchips and glue and laminated to look like wood that has not been reconstructed artificially, synthetic siding is found on a variety of homes and locations. While many suffer problems form such siding, some believe that problems are inevitable with such siding when manufactured improperly making such defective siding not only a nuisance, but a health and safety hazard.
Signs of defective siding can be a wide variety of things. These can be anything from swelling of the boards to paint peeling prematurely. With swelling the siding may appear to be bent out of shape and warped around the nails. When paint begins to peel prematurely, a sign of defective siding is that no matter the quality of the paint used, it refuses to stick consistently to the siding, constantly drying and chipping. However such defective siding doesn’t buckle paint because of the wood, but often due to the moisture that gets trapped inside of the plywood like quality of the siding. This moisture has the potential to cause mold and other funguses to grow rendering the siding defective. Across the board however, the defective siding that deteriorates at the fastest speed is the siding closest to the ground and possibly the chimney due to their direct contact with potentially high levels of moisture and heat.
