Here in eastern Pennsylvania, precipitation is an unavoidable element of our lives. From morning dew to light rain to heavy thunderstorms to snow and sleet, we get it all at various points throughout the year. This begs the question of how to protect stucco from water so you don’t end up facing moisture problems in your home or business. And it all starts with proper and complete installation!
Shielding Stucco: How to Protect Stucco from Water
From the outset, a stucco system (or any type of siding system, for that matter) needs to be well designed to keep out as much water as possible and quickly drain out any moisture that does get in. This hinges on the following:
- All manufacturer-recommended components being properly installed and skillfully integrated to work together in harmony
- High-quality products being used at every layer of the system to ensure longevity and performance over time
Here at Ai Restoration, we hold the keys to how to protect stucco from water. Our stucco professionals follow the proper procedures and use advanced systems to ensure every structure we work on is well protected from the elements for the long term.
Before applying siding, we install a powerful three-layered membrane that works as a barrier against air and water, plus enables swift venting and drying. We also bring vast experience in installing flashing, drainage planes and other key moisture management items.
