The proper repair & preservation of adobe
can accurately be described as an art form. There are correct methods of restoration and maintenance that when properly employed will enhance and prolong the life of your adobe. There are also incorrect methods and incorrect use of repair materials that can literally spell doom for your adobe and result in the acceleration of deterioration.
For example, putting a thick coat of stucco over an old mud adobe home can be among one of the poorest preservation choices you can make. Many people have done just this, believing that it will solve their severe deterioration problems when in fact it may greatly accelerate the problem. One of the most important and critical questions when it comes to evaluating sound solutions for your adobe problems is “What is causing the deterioration in the first place?” No corrective or restoration method should be initiated until this question is thoroughly answered.
