Q: Why does wood siding need an air gap?

• <div><p>Wood siding requires an air gap behind it to allow water to drain out, and for air circulation and venting to allow humid air to escape and keep the material from rotting due to moisture. </p></div>

Q: Is pressure washing the best way to clean vinyl siding?

• <div><p>Not always. The answer depends on your specific vinyl siding product. While some manufacturers advise against pressure washing, others recommend pressure washing as long as pressure is kept below a certain threshold.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t wrap a house before installing siding?

• <div><p>Not wrapping a house before installing siding can lead to moisture intrusion, rot, mold, and even higher energy bills. Older houses may have siding installed without wrap underneath, so it&rsquo;s a good idea to add a wrap layer when it comes time to replace old siding to prevent potential damage from water intrusion&mdash;local codes may even require it, so check with your municipal building authority. </p></div>

Q: How long does cedar siding last?

• <div><p>Similar to other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-siding.htm">types of wood siding</a> consisting of natural materials, cedar siding should last <b>20 to 40 years</b>. However, the lifespan for any wood siding, including cedar, can be far shorter without the proper repair and maintenance work. Don&rsquo;t put off making repairs, or problems could worsen quickly. While you can repair minor holes and cracks in the siding shakes, rot and warping requires replacing the boards. </p></div>

Q: Can mold grow behind siding?

• <div><p>Yes, it is common for mold to grow on the underside of the siding due to the moist atmosphere. When there is an abundance of moisture, mold has the ideal environment to spread and thrive. This fungus can be found on virtually any surface, both indoors and outdoors. Generally, it is most active when the environment is warm, damp, and humid.</p></div>
