Identify 'Wax Bleed' on Siding

What happens here

Carefully inspect the house siding for any areas displaying noticeable dark blotches or a pattern where some boards appear significantly darker than others. These dark areas are an indication of 'wax bleed', a common siding condition. The video illustrates these patterns on various houses, emphasizing that the darker areas are the ones experiencing failure, not the faded lighter sections.

Goal: The first step is to visually identify 'wax bleed' on the siding, which typically appears as dark blotches or a checkered pattern of light and dark boards across the house. This condition is prevalent in certain areas and needs specific treatment before painting.
