All-
A friend of mine recently called me frantic because she's experiencing a "Housing Bubble" of a different sort. She noticed a bulge in the paint on the fascia board on the side of her home. She decided to poke it, and sure enough water came out.
I've not had a chance to stop by and look at it, but she's wondering what is causing it. Have any of you seen something like this before (see attached photos)? Obviously, water is getting behind the paint, but I guess I've never seen the paint bulge out to hold so much water. Would it be bad shingles or just a lack of a drip edge or what?
Looking at the photos, it looks like the paint has peeled away at the top, so perhaps it's just collecting water and isn't necessarily a roof problem.
The roof is about 15 - 20 years old, and this hasn't happened anywhere else on the house in the 4 years she has lived there.
Thanks for whatever help you can provide!
