Common Stucco Problems Philadelphia Homeowners Face

Cracking & Deterioration

Chunks falling off your walls are signs of deterioration and cracking. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter cause wide cracks and hairline cracks. We use correct materials with proven strategies for professional crack repair.

Water Damage

Inadequate moisture barriers can result in soft or spongy wall spots. Dark stains on the walls and musty odor are also due to water damage. We conduct a moisture test and perform a waterproof remediation to resolve the issue.

Synthetic Stucco Failure

Most of the EIFS systems installed in the 2000s lack a water management system. When you discover a rot behind stucco, it is due to synthetic stucco failure. We offer high-quality EIFS remediation or stucco siding replacement.

Poor Previous Repairs

If you faced some inexperienced stucco contractors in the past, then it will result in mismatched texture and colors and fast-failing repairs. We do a proper assessment of what has been done, use correct materials and colors, and finally provide long-term repair.

Complete Stucco Remediation Services

We offer full remediation services for homes having moisture issues in Philadelphia. The moisture meter testing is included to detect the problem from scratch, and proper moisture barriers are installed to resist the issues in the future. We give a lifetime workmanship warranty on remediation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service was great. The technicians were professional, courteous and consistent. They even worked through the holiday until  the project was done. They seldom entered the house except for payment. There was a small correction that had to be made and they returned immediately, the same day, and fixed it. I referred them to a friend of mine who was also pleased.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lifetime of stucco?

The life of stucco depends on its chosen quality and how well you maintain it. Our stucco can last 50-70 years with regular upkeep. You should keep your stucco inspected after a few years.

Is synthetic stucco riskier than traditional stucco?

Not directly, but synthetic stucco requires more exacting installation standards. If a fault in installation happens, then it may result in costly remediation later.

Can water get trapped behind stucco?

Yes, water can enter through small holes and around windows. It can lead to serious structural damage and may cause failure of the entire stucco system.

Can I clean stucco myself?

You can clean stucco at home, but it must be done gently. A little harsh action can lead to cracks. Use a garden hose with minimal pressure. If you require a professional and thorough cleaning, then it’s better to hire a professional.

What is efflorescence in terms of stucco?

An efflorescence is a chalky deposit that appears on the surface of stucco. It happens due to the evaporation of water. When you see efflorescence, take it as a warning to inspect more deeply.
