Home was built in 2006.
Vinyl siding. Rust/dirt colored stains located around entire home below siding on exterior block. What are the stains from? How would you report, what would you recommend? |

Stains from rotting OSB. ??
Are the stains random or under doors and windows and other penetrations? "I create controversy whether they like it or not"

Just a thought....
Could this just be staining from dirt and whatnot being washed off the siding from the sprinkler system? I've seen similar staining when sprinkler heads were spraying water on the house. |

No sprinkler system, but I was thinking along the same track about possable dirt from original build and grade. But then when I see the pattern of the stains it looks like it is from the siding. I hate not being able to figure it out or pinpoint the cause. Ever watch the show Finder Fixers on DIY? Great show!! |

It all depends on when the stains showed up. If the stains appeared during construction I would say a good rain came through before wrap could be applied to the house. If that was the case you might have concern for water damage to the OSB. If the stains didn't appear until after the house was sided unless I could visually prove weather barrier material doens't exist I would have to go with Mark.
