Signs of moisture infiltration include soft spots in walls, peeling interior paint near exterior walls, musty odors, and visible mold growth. You might also notice higher heating and cooling bills if moisture has compromised your insulation.
During our inspection, we use moisture meters and visual assessment to identify water damage behind siding. Even small cracks or loose panels can allow significant moisture penetration over time, especially during Long Island’s heavy rain and snow seasons.
Addressing moisture issues quickly prevents expensive structural repairs later. We remove affected siding sections, treat any mold or rot, ensure proper drainage, and install new materials with appropriate vapor barriers. This comprehensive approach prevents recurring moisture problems.
