Every house has a wall you can't see. This is what was behind one of them.
Our crew just started a new job, and the old siding came off to show rotted sheathing and framing that's turning soft. There was almost nothing left between the weather and the inside of the house.
This is what hidden rot costs a homeowner:
- Structure: soft framing stops holding the wall together
- Insulation: wet walls lose heat, and you pay for it every month
- Health: damp wood trapped behind siding is where mold grows
Winter is when water in rotted wood freezes, expands and does the most damage. If your siding is wavy, your trim feels soft or a room smells musty, don't wait for spring.
