Common Warning Signs of Stucco Damage
Posted on March 15, 2021
Stucco homes are quite popular in our Central San Antonio communities. This Mediterranean style exterior is known for its ability to resist fire and be extremely durable to extreme weather conditions over time (perfect choice for the Texas heat). However, even though stucco was originally created to last for many years, it can still have its fair share of issues. Below are some of the common warning signs that you may see before your home needs professional stucco repairs.
Water Damage Can Create Major Problems
There are many stucco-related problems that can occur due to water leaks. If excess moisture has had the chance to get into or under your stucco siding, it can eventually come through your ceiling and walls. A few warning signs of water damage besides leaks are: cracking stucco and mold growth.
If you have spotted any of these common stucco damage warning signs, it is important that you consult with a local professional about repairs as soon as possible to prevent more costly and future issues.
Watch Out for Cracked Stucco
Have you noticed any cracks along your stucco siding? The majority of cracking happens from water damage. However, cracked stucco can also occur from a previous faulty stucco installation. If you find any unsightly cracks starting to form along your stucco siding, our team can provide you with a professional stucco repair service in the Central San Antonio community.
Don’t Forget to Inspect Your Caulking
When inspecting your stucco exterior, it is essential that you check around your windows and door to see if your caulking is still there. Over time, caulking can start to deteriorate or even wear off. When this happens, excess moisture has a greater chance of seeping into your stucco and causing costly and time consuming damages.
Look for Stains and Discoloration
One of the other initial warning signs of stucco damage is white streaks or brown stains appearing along your stucco siding. Usually this is caused by flashing that has either not been installed properly, or may even be missing.
