• Remove loose paint with pressurized water.
• Scrape areas that are loose but resist removal by water blasting.
• Eliminate moisture by determining the need for:
  • caulking-cracks, holes and seams
  • wedge vents
  • attic louvers
  • exhaust fans
• Scrape off paint from problem area and then sand to fresh wood, feathering edges.

Note: Composition board or hardboard must be sanded carefully to avoid damaging the surface. Use extra precautions when removing paint film from these surfaces.
