  1. What Can Go Wrong With Stucco Repair?

  2. Stucco is a highly durable and enduring option for the exterior of your structure. It is adaptable and can be applied in a sleek or uneven, textured manner. However, despite its strength and cost-effectiveness, like any other substance, it may be susceptible to harm. By identifying the indications of damage early on, you may have the opportunity to address it promptly with a partial restoration, thus avoiding the need for a complete replacement and saving yourself both time and money. In order to assist you in recognizing these signs, we have gathered the various ways in which stucco can deteriorate and the methods to identify them.

  3. Why it goes wrong? From the tiniest of fissures to scorching walls– failing to promptly and correctly address the harm to your stucco could result in significant issues and even more substantial expenses for repairs. Here are some of the most frequent origins of stucco impairment, and how you can detect them.

  4. Water damage There are several notable indications of water damage on your stucco. Examine your stucco for fissures, flaking, marks caused by weather-related harm (round ones for hail damage), or even openings. Another indication is discoloration or swelling on the outermost layer of your stucco surface. Discoloration may appear as brown streaks beneath the edges of your windows or at the meeting points of roofs and walls, while swollen stucco is evident when detached fragments of stucco crumble away, resulting in a patched and fractured appearance on your wall.

  5. If you’re observing water marks on your stucco long after the rain has ceased, this is also a reliable sign that your stucco is not draining adequately. Be vigilant for fungus, or even a musty odor to assist alert you of a possible issue.

  6. Wildlife damage Sometimes, even the most resilient of plaster is no match for a highly determined creature searching for sustenance or refuge. White ants have been documented to feast on plaster, and chipmunks are willing to gnaw at your cladding in order to establish a nest within your walls. Woodpeckers are another major culprit, often pecking away at plaster and leaving behind tiny punctures. As they revisit these areas annually, these birds can cause significant financial damage year after year. When inspecting your plaster for wildlife damage, make sure to look for openings, both large and small, or examine areas where your plaster has been ripped apart or no longer aligns with the ground seamlessly.

  7. Wear and tear Depending on the type of foundation it is applied to and whether or not it receives proper maintenance, your stucco could potentially endure for a duration ranging from 50 to 80 years. However, even if your stucco has managed to avoid any harm caused by water or animals and has been maintained to the best of the previous owner’s capabilities, there may still come a point where it needs to be replaced. If your structure is more than 60 years old, we advise seeking the assistance of a professional to examine your exterior.
