How do You Know if Your Stucco is Failing?

While stucco can fail anywhere, your home has a few areas that are more susceptible than others. If you notice issues with any of the following areas, contact MHx Designs immediately.

Doors & Windows

Doors and windows are the most common problem areas in stucco homes. Water entry and leakage can occur in these areas for a variety of reasons, but most commonly due to improper installation of a water management system. Look out for signs of water entry and leakage around windows and doors which will cause the rotting and molding.

Roof Areas

Due to poor builder practices, many stucco homes are missing the kick-out flashing and step flashing, which divert the water away from stucco walls. This means that stucco walls around your roof can be damaged by rain and snow. Look out for key signs of water entry and leakage your roof and stucco walls.

Deck and Patio

If your home’s deck lacks a water protection system, or if it was installed incorrectly, your home’s ledger board and sheathing can be damaged from water intrusion. Unfortunately, it is difficult to notice potential signs of issues around the deck, so a professional inspection is recommended.

Masonry, Water Table Sill & Band

Flat stone tables, window sills, and stucco foam bands are more susceptible to collect and divert the water into the wall causing severe damage. Look out for key signs of water entry and leakage around your masonry areas.

Stucco Failures

Inadequate sealing around windows, doors, and surface joins can result in water getting into the wall system. This penetration gradually causes the material to fail. Poor stucco application practices can also introduce fundamental instabilities into the wall system.
