I wonder what’s lurking behind this siding and how we can repair it. It goes all around the house.
Appears to be a type of flashing. It’s possible that newer siding was installed over the old, but it’s hard to say for sure.
There may be products in your home that contain asbestos, especially if it is an older property. When given the decision between spending $23,000 on abatement and removal, or $4,000 on containment, which do you think they will choose?
– I kind of had a feeling about that đŸ˜¢ – getting the house inspected / tested… appreciate it!
I hope the results bring good news.
It’s a vent designed to promote air circulation while preventing insects and rodents from entering. You have the option of purchasing either mesh or gutter screens to swap it out.
Seems like it’s designed to prevent bugs and mice from getting in.
