Kansas City Wood Rot Repair: Wood rot around the Kansas City metropolitan area is mainly caused by improper flashings and people caulking areas that are not intended to be caulked. Wood rot and siding repairs are one in the same because when this houses were built with panel siding they were installed and laid tight on top of the horizontal flashings that are designed to drain off water. The problem is that with the siding being so tight there is nowhere for the water to go so the siding soaks it up like a sponge and then you get your wood rot and siding rot. The siding will start to warp, bow, rot, which could also lead to wood stud repair inside your walls. The correct siding installation process that will help eliminate siding rot and repair issues is that when you repair or replace your siding; make sure that you have a ¼” gap between your siding and your flashing.
