When Should Stucco Cracks Be Repaired?
Stucco cracks should be addressed immediately. The longer they are ignored, the more extensive the damage can become, increasing the risk of water intrusion. While completely redoing the stucco is an option, it’s often the most expensive and not necessarily the most effective. We’ve seen new stucco walls develop cracks within just three weeks. A more practical and cost-efficient approach is to replace the most damaged sections of stucco, then repair and apply a commercial-grade coating system like Home Shield Coating®. However, it’s crucial to first conduct a thorough property inspection to evaluate the extent of the damage and the best course of action.
Can Stucco Cracks Cause Water Damage?
Yes, stucco cracks can lead to significant water damage. Over time, these cracks can widen, allowing water to penetrate more easily. Stucco itself isn’t waterproof, and rainwater can seep through, potentially causing moisture problems inside walls and buildings. This issue is especially prevalent in areas with high rainfall, like Florida, where many homes lack proper rain gutters. Our four-part repair solution has been highly effective in addressing this issue. It’s a more affordable alternative to re-stuccoing the entire house and directly tackles water penetration, the root cause of the problem.
