Stucco Inspections

Stucco is a popular wall covering for both exterior and interior walls of a property. Stucco repair becomes necessary when there are cracks and weather damage on the walls or the stucco gets damaged when other repairs and modifications were done to the building. Rely on Hera Environmental for a stucco repair contractor and get the damaged stucco repaired to restore its original appearance.

Before you repair of partially repair traditional stucco consider this:

  • Is there visible leakage or excess moisture?
  • Are you missing flashings or are your flashings broken/rusty? Is your stucco chipped?
  • Do you see any staining or discoloration?
  • Are there any visible cracks in the stucco?

When severe stucco problems occur, hire a stucco professional. Our skill and expertise offers three types of stucco inspection. This service can also include mold testing, sampling and inspection.

A visual stucco inspection is best suited for those considering the purchase of a stucco home. There are many potential problems that can exist with stucco clad homes. A visual stucco inspection is also good for a homeowner who is concerned with maintaining the stucco exterior. This inspection also includes discussing which symptoms may lead to stucco repairs in the future.

Our visual stucco inspection includes:

Interior Moisture Mapping is an option that many homeowners choose when they see visible stucco damage. This occurs often with faulty or careless stucco installation. Moisture penetration also damages the stucco exterior. Many times it's one or two windows causing mold growth and the stucco siding is the problem.

Our interior moisture mapping stucco inspection includes:

  • Detailed information on stucco cladding systems and their accessories.
  • Moisture meter readings taken underneath all accessible windows and around entry doors.
  • A visual inspection by our stucco inspector with maintenance recommendations.

Certified Infrared Thermometers and Delmhorst Bd-2100 moisture meters are used to detect the levels of moisture and humidity in and around your stucco. These are excellent devices used to detect areas of water penetration and areas possibly needing mold testing and or mold remediation.

The Exterior Stucco Inspection is the most common and comprehensive of our stucco inspection services because it is the most invasive. By looking beneath the surface we are able to gauge the extent of stucco damage and decide if your stucco siding system is failing and in need of stucco repairs. Many times failed stucco siding systems or cement sidings are not installed properly, which leads to structural damage, stucco repairs and stucco removal. However in some cases stucco remediation and mold removal are all you need.

Our exterior stucco inspection service includes:

  • Detailed information on stucco cladding systems and their accessories.
  • Discussion of problem areas that may require stucco repairs.
  • Moisture meter readings taken underneath every accessible window, all entry doors and underneath kickout flashings.
  • Depending on the level of moisture content, thermal imaging may be used to determine if moisture has penetrated the interior wall cavity of your stucco home which can lead to mold growth and the need for mold remediation.
  • Comprehensive report with the findings along with all of the moisture content readings, as well any thermal images, and recommendations regarding stucco repairs and or stucco removal.
