Along with its versatility and durability, the long lifespan of stucco is one of the top reasons why eastern PA homeowners go for this siding material. The caveat here is that stucco must be well installed, with all the necessary components included in the system, in order to provide long-term resilience and performance. So, how do you know if you need to redo stucco at your home? Let’s look at some tell-tale signs that your stucco system may be lacking in some area, signaling a need for a do-over.
Should I Redo the Stucco on My House?
Whether your home is newly built or several decades old, you may be understandably disappointed to find out that your stucco exterior has problems. But, it’s important not to ignore any signs you see which may point to underlying issues, such as:
- Cracking
- Bulging
- Bubbling
- Deterioration
- Staining
- Efflorescence (white marks)
If you notice any of these, it’s crucial to have a stucco professional come out as soon as possible to take a look at your siding. To assess the situation, they’ll use techniques like moisture testing and visual examination for signs of water infiltration and/or mold and mildew growth in certain areas.
In turn, an exterior expert like Ai Restoration can help you determine the necessary next steps to ensure your structure and those inside aren’t at risk due to moisture intrusion stemming from inadequate siding installation.
