Spring Rains & Stucco: How Moisture Can Impact Your Home's Exterior

cj91679

As spring rains begin to roll into Houston, now is the time for homeowners to check their stucco for moisture issues. While stucco is a durable and attractive exterior, it is not waterproof—trapped moisture can lead to serious damage if left unchecked.


🌧️ Spring rains can expose hidden stucco moisture issues. Keep an eye out for stains, cracks, and pooling water near your foundation to prevent costly damage. 🏠💧

How Rainwater Affects Stucco

Stucco is designed to shed water, but if there are any cracks, improper drainage, or hidden vulnerabilities, moisture can seep behind the surface. Over time, this can cause:

🚨 Mold growth & mildew

🚨 Soft, crumbling stucco

🚨 Rotting wood framing beneath the stucco

🚨 Unsightly staining or bulging areas


Signs of Stucco Moisture Damage

🏠 Dark streaks or stains on stucco walls

🏠 Cracks or separation in stucco or around windows and doors

🏠 Bulging or warped areas, which may indicate trapped moisture

🏠 Soft spots when you press on the stucco


How to Protect Your Home This Spring

💧 Ensure gutters and downspouts direct water away from stucco walls

💧 Check for proper drainage around the foundation

💧 Seal small cracks before they worsen

💧 Avoid direct sprinkler spray on stucco surfaces


Schedule a Professional Stucco Inspection

Even if your home looks fine on the surface, moisture can be lurking underneath. A professional stucco inspection can detect hidden moisture intrusion before it leads to costly repairs.
