My house has some kind of non-wood t-111 look-alike siding. I have developed some black mold in an upstairs bedroom where the wall facing the weather meets the ceiling. The home was built in 2005.
A pretty knowledgable friend of mine says moisture is getting in because the panel joints were not caulked. The county inspector said they rely on the manufacturor's specifications. My problem is that I don't know enough to recognize what kind of siding it is. So I have two questions:
1. Who makes this kind of siding? and,
2. Is this a likely cause of the mold?
Thank you to anyone willing to help.
