Replaced Water Damaged Fascia Board
In the picture above, you can see where the water damage
to the fascia board actually is. It definitely looks worse on the bottom
beam, but it's also damaged at the upper beams.
Like most water damaged fascia board, the culprit is the roofing. This
type of metal roofing is usually installed over the original layer of
roofing materials. It often gives homeowners a false illusion that they
have two roofs protecting their house. When the reality of this is often
not the case.
I could see where the water could have easily leaked over the roof
edging onto the fascia board and over time the water would have soaked
into the fascia board.
Once the wood becomes damp, it's almost like sending a sign to the
termites that says," Here's the perfect spot to start eating." Water
damage often leads to termite damage. So do your best to maintain your
house and fix any water damage as soon as possible.
