One of the biggest investments to have in life is of course, purchasing a home. It is where all the best memories are made, where we start and raise our family. Gathering as much information as possible on the home you intend to purchase is probably the best decision you can make. Not only will it save you headaches in the future but it can help save thousands in repairs.
An inspection could help discover possible problem areas of the home such as cracks on the Stucco. Cracks on Stucco sometimes can be just a cosmetic issue, but in some cases, it can lead to many other damages to the house such as mold, and that for sure is not something you would want to be dealing with. Mold could cause health issues for the entire family. Allergies can worsen with mold growing in your home.
During our Colorado winter season, the water/snow is able to get into the cracks and freeze as the temperature drops. As it freezes it expands and creates an even larger crack making it even more accessible for water to come into the home. Over time, water intrusion on stucco can rot the framing as well as crumble the sheet-rock inside your home. By then, there would be several additional expenses to the home. You would have to repair the rotten framing, repair sheet-rock, paint, etc.
There are several possibilities of the things you could or would have to repair should there be some imperfections with your Stuccoed home.
Getting an inspection could help alleviate some stress with possible unexpected problems in the future.
