What is a Stucco Inspection?
A stucco inspection is a deep-dive checkup on your home’s stucco exterior to make sure it’s holding up against Texas heat, humidity, storms, and wear over time. We look for cracks, water damage, and hidden issues that could lead to bigger (and more expensive) problems down the road. Whether you’re a homeowner, buyer, real estate pro, or contractor, getting a proper stucco inspection helps keep your property solid, secure, and built to last—Texas tough y’all.
RISK AREAS
Certain areas of your home are more likely to let water in, thanks to design flaws, construction mistakes, or just wear and tear over time. These vulnerable spots can lead to serious issues like mold, wood rot, and even structural damage if not taken care of properly. With Texas weather being what it is, staying ahead of water intrusion is key to keeping your home strong and dry.
WINDOWS
When windows are not installed correctly or properly sealed and caulked, they become highly vulnerable to water intrusion. Water can seep through gaps around the window frame, leading to interior damage, mold growth, and even structural issues.
DOORS
When installing doors, specific procedures and materials must be used to prevent water intrusion and protect the building from potential damage. Since doors serve as transition points between the exterior and interior, they are particularly vulnerable to moisture penetration if not properly sealed.
PENETRATIONS
Penetrations in a home’s exterior, such as areas around vents, wiring, plumbing, and other utility openings, are often overlooked but can be significant points of water intrusion if not properly sealed. These exposed areas allow moisture to enter behind the stucco, potentially leading to structural damage, mold growth, and insulation deterioration.
FLASHING
Flashing is a critical component in waterproofing a building, serving as a protective barrier that directs water away from vulnerable areas and prevents moisture from seeping behind the exterior walls. Properly installed flashing enhances the longevity of a structure by minimizing water damage, mold growth, and structural deterioration.
CRACKS
Cracks in stucco are a clear visual indicator that an inspection is needed. They often develop due to installation errors, structural movement, or environmental factors . While some hairline cracks may seem minor, they can quickly become pathways for water intrusion, leading to hidden damage beneath the stucco surface.
PAINT
When painting a stucco home, elastomeric paint is highly recommended due to its durability, flexibility, and waterproofing properties. Unlike standard exterior paints, elastomeric coatings create a thicker, more protective barrier , helping to shield stucco surfaces from the elements.
