Post subject: | Panel of Siding |
It was really windy overnight and kept hearing banging against the house. This morning I checked what it could be. Tree branches, maybe? But no, didn't think they were within reach of the house. It was a Panel of Siding come loose. Guys, what does one do about this? Is this normal for new homes? I can't reach it and don't have a ladder. Should I call the builder with the builder's warranty, or just be a man and find a way to do-it-myself? He's already coming on the 30th to fix the leak in the bathtub overflow. |

I don't have any experience with replacing that, just wood siding. I'd just ask the builder to take a look at it. |

as someone that once paid ~$10,000 for a black mold remediation (due to the previous owner), I can tell you that proper water drainage is arguably the most important thing you monitor for your house. that means: have gutters have downspouts that take the water away from the house have proper grading have a sump pump have a de-humidifier in the basement running at all times don't let it happen to you

How does a house pass inspection without gutters? That is so bizarre to me. |

Also, vinyl siding is super easy to pop back in place. But, make your dopey builder fix it. |

Yeah dudes I live on top a hill basically the water runs away from the house. There is a minor problem area in the front yard but I'll address this eventually. I don't have a basement or crawl space and the roof overhangs over a foot |

Also there's a sort of drainage hose leading outta the yard. You know gutters actually tend to cause alot of issues in and of themselves. I think this builder knew what he was doing but I will be sure to ask him if he's a moron face to face when he comes on the 30th and I will keep you posted |
