• Stucco is a highly durable and enduring option
  for the exterior of your structure. It is
  adaptable and can be applied in a sleek or
  uneven, textured manner. However, despite its
  strength and cost-effectiveness, like any other
  substance, it may be susceptible to harm. By
  identifying the indications of damage early on,
  you may have the opportunity to address it
  promptly with a partial restoration, thus
  avoiding the need for a complete replacement and
  saving yourself both time and money. In order to
  assist you in recognizing these signs, we have
  gathered the various ways in which stucco can
  deteriorate and the methods to identify them.

• Why it goes wrong?
• From the tiniest of fissures to scorching walls
  failing to promptly and correctly address the
  harm to your stucco could result in significant
  issues and even more substantial expenses for
  repairs. Here are some of the most frequent
  origins of stucco impairment, and how you can
  detect them.

• Water damage
• There are several notable indications of water
  damage on your stucco. Examine your stucco for
  fissures, flaking, marks caused by
  weather-related harm (round ones for hail
  damage), or even openings. Another indication is
  discoloration or swelling on the outermost layer
  of your stucco surface. Discoloration may appear
  as brown streaks beneath the edges of your
  windows or at the meeting points of roofs and
  walls, while swollen stucco is evident when
  detached fragments of stucco crumble away,
  resulting in a patched and fractured appearance
  on your wall.

• If youre observing water marks on your stucco
  long after the rain has ceased, this is also a
  reliable sign that your stucco is not draining
  adequately. Be vigilant for fungus, or even a
  musty odor to assist alert you of a possible
  issue.

• Wildlife damage
• Sometimes, even the most resilient of plaster is
  no match for a highly determined creature
  searching for sustenance or refuge. White ants
  have been documented to feast on plaster, and
  chipmunks are willing to gnaw at your cladding in
  order to establish a nest within your walls.
  Woodpeckers are another major culprit, often
  pecking away at plaster and leaving behind tiny
  punctures. As they revisit these areas annually,
  these birds can cause significant financial
  damage year after year. When inspecting your
  plaster for wildlife damage, make sure to look
  for openings, both large and small, or examine
  areas where your plaster has been ripped apart or
  no longer aligns with the ground seamlessly.

• Wear and tear Depending on the type of foundation
  it is applied to and whether or not it receives
  proper maintenance, your stucco could potentially
  endure for a duration ranging from 50 to 80
  years. However, even if your stucco has managed
  to avoid any harm caused by water or animals and
  has been maintained to the best of the previous
  owners capabilities, there may still come a
  point where it needs to be replaced. If your
  structure is more than 60 years old, we advise
  seeking the assistance of a professional to
  examine your exterior.
