Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports of widespread product failure involving Huber Zip System sheathing, a product commonly used in residential construction across the United States. Homeowners have reported premature swelling, warping, and other performance issues, especially in humid or wet climates.
Alleged Product Defects
Marketed as a high-performance, weather-resistant alternative to traditional sheathing and house wrap, the Zip System was promoted for its ability to resist moisture and improve energy efficiency. However, many homeowners are now experiencing serious issues, including:
-
Swelling and buckling of panels within just a few seasons
-
Visible rippling and bulging on exterior walls
-
Increased water intrusion behind siding
-
Framing stress, leading to structural concerns
-
Mold growth and wood rot due to trapped moisture
Despite being aware of these potential problems, Huber has allegedly continued to advertise the Zip System as durable and weather-tight, leaving affected homeowners to bear the cost of repairs.
Homeowner Complaints & Financial Impact
Owners of homes built with the Zip System sheathing have reported:
-
Full siding replacements within 3-5 years
-
Repair costs in the thousands of dollars
-
Long-term damage to structural framing
-
Decreased home value and increased insurance risk
