Preparation for Summer Storms

Protect Your Stucco Home Before Virginia’s Summer Weather Hits

As the warmer months arrive in Northern Virginia, so does the threat of summer storms. These seasonal weather patterns bring high winds, heavy rain, and persistent humidity—conditions that can expose or worsen existing issues in your home’s stucco or EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System). If your exterior isn’t sealed and maintained properly, moisture can penetrate your walls, leading to costly damage over time. At Worldgate Plaster & Stucco Company in Reston, we help homeowners proactively protect their property before storm season peaks.

How Moisture Gets In—and Why It Matters

Stucco is valued for its strength and appearance, but cracks, gaps, and poor installation can all leave your walls vulnerable to water intrusion. Once moisture finds its way inside, it may result in mold growth, wood rot, crumbling plaster, and staining, especially in Virginia’s hot and humid climate. Homes with EIFS cladding are particularly susceptible if the system isn’t properly sealed or maintained.

The good news? Many of these issues can be avoided with timely inspections and repairs.

Common Signs of Stucco or EIFS Trouble

You don’t need to wait for visible water damage to take action. Look for these signs of plaster degradation around your home’s exterior:

  • Thin or widening cracks on walls
  • Soft spots, bulging, or warping of stucco surfaces
  • Rust-colored stains or mold streaks
  • Gaps around windows, doors, or trim
  • Flaking paint or deteriorating plaster indoors
          If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s time to schedule an inspection with a qualified professional.

          Why Certified Stucco Inspections Matter

          Many forms of moisture damage begin where you can’t see them—behind the walls. Our certified stucco and EIFS inspections dig deeper than a surface check. Using specialized tools and years of industry knowledge, our team assesses the condition of your cladding system and identifies hidden issues before they become serious.
