Don’t Let Hidden Water Damage Destroy Your Home
Many Santa Fe-style homes with parapets develop cracks over time. Unfortunately, these cracks are often overlooked until serious damage has already occurred.
During Arizona’s monsoon season, water can pe*****te cracked parapets, improperly flashed windows, and other vulnerable areas of the home. Once moisture gets trapped behind the stucco, it can begin damaging the wood framing long before any signs are visible from the outside.
Over time, this hidden moisture can lead to:
* Wood rot
* Mold growth
* Termite infestations
* Carpenter ants
* Structural damage
* Expensive drywall and insulation replacement
The photos below show real examples of what we frequently discover after opening walls that appeared to have only minor stucco cracks. What starts as a simple repair can turn into a major restoration project if these issues are ignored for too long.
The good news is that most of these costly repairs can be prevented with routine inspections and timely maintenance.
At Legacy Plastering, we provide FREE stucco and parapet inspections. Our goal is to identify potential problems before they become thousands of dollars in structural repairs.
If you own a Santa Fe-style home in Sedona, Cornville, Cottonwood, Camp Verde, Prescott, or the surrounding areas, don’t wait until water damage is visible inside your home.
Schedule your free inspection today and protect your investment before minor cracks become major repairs.
