Repair/replace Items

• E1-1 Exterior:

  Louisiana Pacific OSB siding has been used to clad this house. This siding, commonly referred to as "LP siding", is installation sensitive and is vulnerable to premature failure where poorly installed and / or exposed to the weather. Based on the age of the home it is likely LP's Inner Seal siding. This OSB siding product was the subject of a class action law suit regarding premature failure. The suit has been settled and no more settlement funds are available. Some of the siding on this house is expanding and delaminating on the bottom edges, and the siding around the rear sliding glass doors is completely rotted out. Once the delamination process starts, it is difficult to stop and the siding will eventually get to the point where it needs to be replaced. Have a qualified person repair as necessary.
