What it is: Soffit or fascia boards are rotted, broken, or pulling away from the structure.
Why it matters
Damaged soffit and fascia allow water and pests into the attic and eave assembly.
Why it's common in Bloomington
Wood soffit and fascia on older Bloomington eaves rot where gutters overflow during heavy snowmelt.
Signs to watch for
- peeling or rotted fascia
- gaps in soffit panels
- pest or bird entry at the eaves
