Peeling Paint and Swelling

Peeling paint in your Apartment Building? Wood swelling in your Condominium Building or Commercial Building? Don’t take these lightly. A small issue is often a sign of a major problem.

Things to Look For:

Siding issues or damage
Exterior or interior trim damage
Issues around windows, doors, deck
Interior water stains and swelling

Causes of Swelling and Peeling Paint In Buildings

Swelling siding, trim, window sills, or other wood and fiber cement elements is a sign that the wood is absorbing water somewhere
Swelling near windows is an indication that the window is leaking
Peeling paint is a sign that fiber cement or wood beneath the paint is saturated with water and causing the paint to separate from the surface
