Can moisture get behind vinyl siding? If it does, how does it get out and will it cause damage?

It is typical to have some moisture behind sidewall materials; it becomes a problem and risk for damage when the moisture isn't allowed an escape. Vinyl siding has small holes called weep holes in the bottom edge of each piece of vinyl siding. These holes and the proper clearances in receiving channels are the escape route for any moisture that collects behind your siding.
