Insurance usually doesn't cover cosmetic damage. It can, but it's an endorsement and most people choose not to purchase it.
I'm gonna back-pedal. Asked someone else and he thinks it would be covered, much the same way vandalism would be covered if someone had spray painted the siding.

Cosmetic damage more refers to hail dimples caused on aluminum siding or something similar. It still functions, it just doesn't look good. That kind of claim would not be covered without an endorsement.

Not exactly sure.

This is human stupidity, I don't think that is covered. Unless he doesn't mention the sprinkler.


BTW, since he is an idiot, Fran would welcome him as a basketball fan.

I would find out who your local LP Rep is and ask them.

If it's rust coming from the nail heads, they likely weren't galvanized or stainless as they should have been, and you might have an installer warranty claim if the house is brand new. If it's not the nails it sounds like you have some water issues.

If it's LP's pre-finished siding, putting muriatic acid on it will likely void any factory finish warranty.

I've been siding houses for 17 years and never seen anything like this. Good luck.

Yea, unfortunately it must be from the hard water in my well obviously. i was watering my new seeded lawn, yea the water was hitting the side of the house , but my intention was a quick 5 min water soak before I left for weekend. FML!!

5 minutes with a sprinkler isn't going to give you a soak.
