Common Siding Problems
Winters in connecticut can go well below freezing. Typical siding may exhibit one or more of the following:
Why Do You Need to Have Siding Issues Fixed?
Your home needs complete protection against the winter cold. Leaks can result in damage to the exterior wall. It can also cause drafts and make your home uncomfortable during winter. But, above all, it can increase your home’s indoor heating requirements. Your furnace or heat pump will need to increase its output to compensate, consuming more energy in the process.
Addressing the aforementioned siding problems, along with other winterizing best practices such as applying window seals, can help minimize heat loss. More importantly, you should keep up with regular siding maintenance. Vinyl siding has low maintenance requirements, but it shouldn’t be mistaken for “no maintenance requirements”. You still need to make sure that your siding is well taken care of, especially during the winter season.
