In regions where the soil moved, causing house foundations to settle, cracks appeared in the stucco that allowed rain to penetrate and loosen the siding from its sheathing. Stucco is appealing for a number of reasons, chief among them its fire resistance.
A 1-inch coating of stucco provides a one-hour firewall rating, which means it will prevent the spread of fire from one side of the wall to the other side for at least one hour. This makes stucco desirable for multi-family dwellings with strict fire codes, and those in neighborhoods where houses are built in close proximity to each other.
