Stucco is a durable and beautiful building material, but homeowners should accept that it just isnât waterproof. If youâre concerned about damage to your home, look from these signs that your stucco is, indeed, due for a waterproofing job: Paint coating stucco is chipping, peeling, fainting, or cracking.
