The Reasons
The first thing to know is that if your stucco walls didn’t suffer an impact, you may find holes that started as a crack. Then it turned into a more significant issue. So, why do stucco cracks occur? Here are the three main reasons.
- 1. A Lousy Stucco Work: – The company that performed your stucco project may have done a lousy job. Stucco can crack due to using wrong mix proportions, insufficient mixing, or poor working quality. The terrible work combined with other factors such as extreme weather conditions can weaken the structure framing, causing holes in your stucco.
- 2. Nature Itself: – Seismic movements and extreme weather conditions such as snows and storms can damage the stucco by cracking it. The lack of stucco repair or maintenance makes your damaged stucco wall prone to water seeping that will potentially cause holes.
- 3. Lack Of Stucco Maintenance & Repair: – Even though stucco is durable, over time, it weakens, causing the material to crack. If you don’t perform stucco maintenance or repair, the crack will eventually become more prominent until becoming a hole.
We will mention a bonus reason why there’s a big hole in your stucco home. Impacts are an evident reason why there would be a big hole in your house. Flying debris, a fallen tree, or a car accident can cause a big opening in your stucco walls. Stucco is durable but not indestructible.
