The warranty provides payment for repairs related to the stucco if elevated moisture levels are found during the term of the warranty. It pays to modify or repair the affected area so it can be dry again. How can I purchase a warranty? The home must be inspected by a qualified moisture inspector following the MoistureFree Warranty Inspection Protocol. The inspection report then should be submitted to Moisture Warranty Corporation (MWC) for review along with a warranty application form that has been completed by the inspector. MWC professionals will prepare a Certified Repair Analysis (CRA) on the home which details what needs to be done to the home to make it eligible for the warranty. Once these items have been completed, a second inspection is performed to verify repairs have been completed and are correct, and the warranty is issued.

Some contractors will tell you they are offering a “bond” or a “warranty” when in reality they are offering a “guarantee” on their work. This guarantee is backed by the repair contractor on his work only, not the entire stucco system as is covered by the MoistureFree Stucco Warranty, and that guarantee only has the backing of the repair contractor who may not have the intent or capacity to bank it up. (Plus, why should a stucco homeowner pay a repair contractor to guarantee his work? Shouldn’t this be something he offers as part of doing the work on a home?) The MoistureFree Warranty has the solid backing from a national, financially-strong company.
