Stucco failure is an all-too-common problem in Ontario, where over the past 15 years over 70% of stucco installations have been defective. An unsightly and dangerous issue, the moisture intrusion that results from failed stucco can lead to extensive damage and rot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re worried about stucco failure in your home, it\u2019s crucial to diagnose and solve any problems as quickly as possible. This can be hard to diagnose without invasive or destructive testing, but there are several stucco failure warning signs that concerned homeowners should keep an eye out for.

6 STUCCO FAILURE QUESTIONS HOMEOWNERS SHOULD ASK<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

These are the questions a stucco inspector will seek to answer in order to tell if you have bad stucco. Homeowners who are worried about stucco home problems should ask themselves these questions, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have there been any leaks in the stucco siding?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Two<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thinking about all the years you\u2019ve lived in your home, whether it\u2019s been 2 years or 20. Has there ever been a leak? If so, was the issue plumbing-related? If not, chances are good that the leak was caused by a deficiency in your home\u2019s exterior. Consider any leaks that have occurred in your stucco siding and start there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the home\u2019s caulking missing or aged?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

one thing to keep in mind is to Inspect the interior trim of your home\u2019s windows and doors. Look for missing or aged caulking around the trim. There should be sealant around the entire perimeter of the window and door opening. If you see shrunken, dried caulking, or if the adhesion is no longer present, then that area has a higher probability for water and air intrusion. Remember, stucco failure begins when water is allowed into the wall cavity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HINT: If you can feel a draft, that means water can enter as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the transition between stucco and other siding materials properly sealed?<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Close-up<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you have Stucco or EFIS on the exterior of your home, any dissimilar materials must be separated. Those junctions must be sealed with an approved sealant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of all the homes with stucco failure that I\u2019ve seen, I would say over 95%<\/strong> are lacking in this vital construction detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the stucco cracking or turning black?<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Cracking and discoloration are perhaps the most common indicators of stucco home problems. Look at your home\u2019s stucco siding and try to identify these common signs of damage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
