We offer our convenient stucco waterproofing service by fixing all types of stucco concerns. Cracks may develop in the stucco because of building settling or direct damage to the external coating. Once water is able to breach the coating, whether through an opening in the stucco itself or from beneath its surface, fragile stucco can begin to buckle and crumble. So, stucco repairs should be carried out as soon as the problem becomes visible, as water damage only worsens with time. Stucco can be applied to masonry such as brick or stone, or wood which can also be damaged by moisture infiltration.
