Vinyl Siding

Home inspectors attending the Vinyl Siding Installation & Defects for Home Inspectors webinar will learn how vinyl siding systems are designed to perform and how improper installation can lead to common defects and moisture-related problems. The course covers correct installation practices, clearances, fastening methods, flashing details, and expansion allowances, along with how to identify issues such as warping, buckling, inadequate drainage, and improper transitions at windows, doors, and penetrations. Inspectors will also gain practical guidance on recognizing conditions that may contribute to water intrusion or concealed damage, and how to clearly document vinyl siding deficiencies in a professional home inspection report.
