Signs of Storm-Related Siding Damage

Wind Damage

High winds can wreak havoc on your home’s siding, creating visible damage that requires immediate attention:

  • Loose or missing siding panels that were blown off or partially detached
  • Cracked or split panels where the wind caused the material to flex beyond its limits
  • Dents and gouges from flying debris carried by strong winds
  • Warped or buckled sections where sustained winds caused the siding to pull away from the house
  • Damaged corner posts and trim pieces that were loosened or torn away

Hail Impact

Hailstorms can cause devastating damage to siding materials, often requiring extensive hail damage repairs or even complete replacement of affected areas:

  • Circular dents or dimples in the siding surface, particularly noticeable on vinyl materials
  • Cracked or punctured panels where larger hailstones penetrated the material
  • Chipped or scraped areas where hail removed paint or surface material
  • Granule loss on fiber cement siding, similar to what occurs on asphalt shingles

Water Infiltration

Heavy rains accompanying storms can expose vulnerabilities in your siding system, leading to moisture-related damage:

  • Water stains or discoloration on interior walls
  • Bubbling or peeling paint on siding surfaces
  • Soft or spongy areas in wood trim or underlying sheathing
  • Mold or mildew growth around seams and joints where water has accumulated
  • Rust stains or corrosion on metal components like flashing or fasteners

The Risks of Ignoring Storm-Damaged Siding

Structural Integrity Issues

Delaying repairs to storm-damaged siding can lead to serious structural problems throughout your home. When siding is compromised, moisture can penetrate the building envelope, causing rot in wooden structural components and potentially affecting the foundation. Water infiltration can weaken the home’s frame, leading to sagging, settling, and other structural issues that become increasingly expensive to repair.

Energy Efficiency Problems

Damaged siding significantly impacts your home’s energy efficiency, leading to higher utility bills and reduced comfort. Gaps, cracks, and holes in the siding allow conditioned air to escape while letting outside air infiltrate your home. This forces your heating and cooling systems to work harder to maintain comfortable temperatures, increasing energy consumption and costs.

Secondary Damage Concerns

Ignoring storm-damaged siding opens the door to numerous secondary problems that can compound the initial damage. For example, pest infestations become more likely when gaps and holes provide entry points for insects and rodents. Moisture intrusion can also lead to mold growth, which poses health risks to your family and requires costly remediation.
