Any damage that exposes your home’s structure to moisture requires immediate attention. This includes cracked panels, loose sections that allow water penetration, or areas where siding has been completely torn away.
Signs that demand urgent repair include visible water stains on interior walls, loose or missing siding panels, cracks that go completely through the material, and any damage that exposes the underlying house wrap or sheathing. These conditions allow water to reach your home’s structure, leading to rot, mold, and expensive repairs.
Even seemingly minor damage like small cracks or loose trim should be addressed promptly. Long Island’s coastal weather can turn small problems into major issues quickly, especially during storm season.
