If you have plaster walls, it’s important you take the time to check them regularly. Quickly recognizing whether or not you need plastering services is key to proper home maintenance and avoiding costly repairs. The stucco repair team at Old World Plastering in Cincinnati, OH, knows how to spot when a wall is in need of plastering services, and they’d like to help you stay on top of any potential issues.

Here are three signs that you need plastering services:

• Stucco Tears: Stucco tears are early signs of moisture damage. You’re lucky if you spot them because there are typically no outward signs of moisture damage and problems quietly escalate. Conduct a moisture test if you notice any tears.
• Cracks: When plaster starts to separate from the laths, cracks develop. Although tiny cracks can be filled in, if they start to lengthen or widen, the area needs re-plastering.
• Drooping: If you notice plaster hanging lower than normal, contact a professional to see if it’s detaching from the lath. You don’t want to wait and have the ceiling fall completely to find out if you need plastering services.

By knowing what to look for, you can spot plaster problems before they turn into disasters and get them fixed. Contact a plastering contractor at Old World Plastering of Cincinnati, OH, if you notice any of these issues with your plastering.
