Why Stucco Waterproofing Is Essential in Lee County

Lee County’s climate places constant stress on exterior wall systems. High humidity, frequent rainfall, and wind-driven storms make moisture intrusion one of the most common causes of stucco failure.

Heavy Seasonal Rainfall
Lee County receives over 50 inches of rain annually, with most falling between June and October. Afternoon storms often deliver intense rainfall in short periods, forcing water against exterior walls.

High Humidity Levels
Average humidity regularly exceeds 70%, slowing drying time and allowing moisture to linger behind stucco surfaces if not properly sealed.

Wind-Driven Rain and Storm Exposure
Tropical storms and hurricanes push rain horizontally into walls, particularly on south and west-facing elevations in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Bonita Springs.

Coastal Conditions
Salt air accelerates material breakdown on coastal and near-coastal properties. Without waterproofing, stucco becomes more porous over time.

Preventative Protection Saves Money
Waterproofing helps prevent substrate damage, wood rot, interior wall staining, and mold growth—avoiding repairs that can cost several times more than proactive sealing.
