Common Causes of Bubbling and Bulging in Summer Siding

One common summer siding issue that many homeowners notice during the warmer summer months is bubbling and bulging. Though this could be due to the result of direct sunlight, there could be a few other causes. Here’s what to keep an eye out for: 

Heat Source Too Close to Vinyl Siding

While siding such as vinyl is made to withstand heavy amounts of heat and sunlight, artificial heat may be the cause of your bubbling. This is the case in which a barbecue or a fire pit is too close to your siding. Direct heat like this will warp the material and cause the bubbling that you are seeing, so it’s best to keep artificial heat a safe distance away from your home. 

Reflective Sunlight Causing Siding Bubble

While direct sunlight doesn’t hurt your siding as much, if sunlight were to reflect off of neighbor’s windows and doors and onto your siding, that’s a whole other story. This kind of direct heat will cause bubbling and warping, hurting your vinyl more than you realize. 

Water Damage Leading to Siding Bulge

One downside to summer besides the extreme heat is the extreme weather. We often see days full of heavy rain. And, if your siding is already damaged or not properly installed, that water may lead to costly water damage. This is what will cause bubbling, but also plenty of other issues. In a case involving water damage, bubbling is the least of your concerns.
