Stucco is a durable and beautiful building material, but homeowners should accept that it just isnât waterproof. If youâre concerned about damage to your home, look from these signs that your stucco is, indeed, due for a waterproofing job: Paint coating stucco is chipping, peeling, fainting, or cracking.
Stucco itself is a cement-type mixture. It is made up of sand, Portland cement, lime, and water. It is really considered a thin finish coat, the outermost layer that is visible and can be painted. But to make stucco work, you need layers below it to provide an adequate base.
