Answers to frequently asked questions about damaged siding, class-action settlements and more.

If you are filing a siding claim for damaged ABTco or LP siding and it is causing water intrusion to the interior of your home, your claim can be expedited.  Water intrusion is one of the only instances where a siding claim can be expedited but it’s important to know that it only speeds up a portion of the process. Even with the required documentation it will only expedite how quickly the homeowner’s claim is sent to the inspection company.

ClaimSource One can assist the homeowner in filing their siding claim and identifying the type of siding on their house but it is the homeowner’s responsibility to obtain the required documents that are required to expedite their claim as these documents need to be submitted with the claim form.

So, in order to get this process moving more quickly, the homeowner will need to submit a contractor’s estimate or contract for repair work. This estimate or contract will need to be on the contractor’s letterhead, list an estimate for repairs/replacement and state the damaged siding is causing the water intrusion. 

While waiting on the claim to be inspected by the court appointed inspector we recommend, if possible, that the homeowner hold off  on making  repairs to the damaged siding as it could lower their damage award.  If repairs are absolutely necessary to prevent further interior damage, repair only the boards causing the water intrusion problem.
