Tip #12: The Importance of Annual Stucco Inspections 🔎

Stucco is a durable and long-lasting material, but like any part of your home, it needs regular care to stay in top shape. Annual inspections can help you catch potential issues early, saving you time and money in the long run.
 

1. 👀 Identify Minor Issues Before They Escalate:

• Catch Small Cracks Early: Minor cracks may not seem like a big deal, but if left unchecked, they can grow larger and allow moisture to penetrate the stucco. Early detection and repair can prevent more significant damage.
• Spotting Discoloration: Discoloration can be a sign of moisture intrusion, which can lead to mold or efflorescence. An annual inspection helps you catch these issues before they become more serious.
   

2. 🥽Protect Against Moisture Damage:

• Check for Water Stains: Look for any water stains or damp areas on your stucco, especially around windows, doors, and other openings. This could indicate that water is getting behind the stucco, which can lead to more significant problems.
• Inspect Seals and Caulking: Over time, seals around windows, doors, and other openings can deteriorate. Inspecting and repairing these seals annually helps keep moisture out and protects your stucco.
