When your stucco cracks from normal wear and tear, you might patch it up at first, but it’s important to know that patchwork usually isn’t enough. It’s better to call in a professional to fully repair the patched stucco cracks as soon as possible!
Ai Restoration is a stucco repair company outside of Philadelphia, and we know stucco inside and out! Our skilled craftsmen have been working with residential and commercial stucco buildings for years.
In this blog, we’ll tell you a bit about the realities of patching stucco cracks and why it’s important to do more than just cover up the problem:
- Not all cracks are the same – Some cracks may hold up with a simple patch, but others are going to keep growing and the patch won’t do it any good. And only a trained professional will know how to tell the two apart.
- Damage may be worsening – When you patch stucco cracks, on the surface your stucco may appear to be in top shape. The problem is, underneath the damage could be worsening without you even knowing it.
- Moisture could be seeping through – Stucco’s greatest enemy is moisture. Cracks present a real problem because they allow moisture to seep through and cause damage behind walls. If your patchwork isn’t done seamlessly by a professional, you may be allowing moisture to enter your home, unbeknownst to you!
