When to Call a Professional for Water Damage Repair
Hearing the words "you have water damage on your stucco, stone, or siding" can be disheartening. It signals potential costly repairs and distressing home issues.
Like many others facing challenges, you are not alone. We understand your struggles and are here to support you on your journey. Together, we can overcome and identify stucco water damage, stone damage, and siding.
Identifying water damage early in your home's exterior stucco, stone, or siding is crucial for maintaining structural integrity and preventing costly repairs. Here are five key indicators to watch for:
1. Mold or Moss Growth: The presence of mold, mildew, or moss indicates persistent moisture problems, often due to water seeping behind the exterior surface. Note stone veneer will darken or blacken over time with water damage.
2. Staining and Discoloration: Dark spots, streaks, or efflorescence (white, powdery residue) on the surface may indicate water infiltration and mineral deposits left by evaporating moisture.
3. Soft or Bulging Areas: Press gently on the exterior walls; soft spots or bulges suggest that water has compromised the underlying materials, leading to swelling or deterioration.
4. Cracks and Gaps: Look for cracks in the stucco or gaps between stone veneers and siding panels. These can allow water to penetrate and cause internal damage.
5. Peeling or Bubbling Paint: Paint that is peeling, bubbling, or blistering on the exterior can be a sign that moisture is trapped beneath the surface, causing the paint to lose adhesion.
Check your home for stains, damage, and cracks on stucco.
