Hailstorms can take a toll on your home’s exterior, and stucco is no exception. While stucco is durable, it’s not entirely resistant to hail damage. If a storm has recently hit your home, it is crucial to inspect your stucco for signs of impact and promptly address any issues. The trusted experts at Worldgate Plaster & Stucco Company in Reston, Virginia, specialize in identifying and repairing hail damage, helping restore your home’s exterior to its original condition.
Hailstones vary in size, but even smaller ones can cause significant damage to stucco surfaces. When hail strikes stucco, it can create dents, cracks, or chips in the finish. Over time, these imperfections can compromise the integrity of your stucco, leading to moisture intrusion, mold growth, or further cracking. In severe cases, hail damage may expose the underlying layers of your exterior, leaving your home vulnerable to the elements. If you notice any of these signs, it is crucial to act quickly. Ignoring hail damage can lead to more extensive and costly repairs later.
There are various signs of stucco damage, so it is essential to know them all.
Dents or Pockmarks: Small indentations on the stucco surface caused by hail impact.
Cracks: Hairline or larger cracks radiating from the point of impact.
Chipping or Flaking: Pieces of stucco that have broken off, leaving rough or uneven patches.
Discoloration: Areas where the stucco’s color has changed due to impact or exposure of underlying layers.
Exposed Mesh or Substrate: Visible mesh, foam, or other materials beneath the stucco surface.
