If your home or business building uses stucco as a major part of its exterior envelope, there are plenty of signs of deterioration or damage to keep a close eye on over time. But that doesn’t mean fixing stucco should be stressful.
While it is an extremely durable product that serves to secure and protect other potentially vulnerable construction components, stucco that has been improperly installed can wreak havoc on your home. A few stucco problems to look out for include:
- Dark, visible staining
- Mold, water marks, or other signs of excess moisture
- General deterioration, or efflorescence (white-looking, mineral salt deposits)
- Signs of poor installation like gaps between windows and doors, missing weep screed and control joints, and stucco that extends below the grade
If any of the above are causing you grief, it might be time for a remediation.
Fixing Stucco: What is Remediation?
Remediation is the act or process of correcting a fault or deficiency. But what exactly does that mean for your home or business? Shouldn’t fixing stucco be as simple as residing the building? Wrong!
The remediation process entails a complete removal of stucco, fixing any damage or deficiencies directly at the source, and properly installing a comprehensive water management system as well as new stucco siding to the exact specifications needed.
By addressing and correcting damage at the source through remediation, you can be sure that you don’t run into the same issues years down the road. Maybe someday you’ll want to sell. Make sure your home keeps its value for years to come by preserving it in the best possible condition.
