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.
Homes clad with EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems) a.k.a. synthetic stucco have a very strong tendency to retain moisture between the sheathing of the home and the finish system. The design of EIFS, unlike other systems (brick, stone, siding, etc.), does not allow the moisture to drain out.
