49930 N Santiam Hwy SE SITE VISIT REPORT <br /> Idanha, OR 97350-9503 State Farm Claim No. 37-11K4-75P <br /> The James Hardie Building Products company recommends that caulking be <br /> re-applied when it has begun to show signs of wear, in order to help keep moisture <br /> from getting into the wall cavity. Furthermore, they recommend the use of caulks <br /> and sealants that remain permanently flexible. It is feasible that some of the caulking <br /> used during the original installation of the siding was not permanently flexible, but <br /> even if was, caulking does break down and age over time with exposure to weather <br /> and sun. <br /> The siding planks and panels themselves appear to be in good condition. As <br /> part of normal prep work for re-painting, the joints in the siding should cleaned and <br /> re-caulked, and any dents, chips, cracks, or other minor surface damage should be <br /> filled with cementitious patching compound, as recommended by the manufacturer. <br /> Report Date: March 28, 2021 Page 28 of 44 <br /> Site Visit Date: March 6, 2021 Taylor& Syfan Consulting Engineers, Inc. <br />
