To protect a home from weathering, it should have fresh paint at all times. All surfaces should be sealed and there should be no cracks in the exterior.
Since you did not specify which types of weathering you meant (necessary for this question to properly be answered), I will just summarize a bit of basic information on weathering and try to answer as best as I can in the most general sense.There are three general types of weathering: mechanical (sometimes called physical), chemical, and biological. Chemical weathering entails the alteration of the chemical and mineralogical composition of the weathered material. Physical weathering is the breakdown of mineral or rock material by entirely mechanical methods. Biological weathering involves the disintegration of rock and mineral due to the chemical and/or physical agents of an organism.Chemical types can be caused by processes that require water (such as hydrolysis, or carbonation - when there is formation of carbonic acid from carbon dioxide and water). Physical types contain processes that may not, though. For example, a type of physical weathering is abrasion, which is when there are collisions that can be caused by wind (although it can also be caused by water or ice). Sometimes biological weatheringdoes not require water - such as when particles fracture because of animal burrowing or due to pressure being exerted by growing roots.
physical weathering is weathering that you can reverse and chemical weathering is where you can' reverse it.
Water is a major component in weathering process. Its essential for all forms of disintegration either Mechanical/Physical, Biological or Chemical. Water aids in physical weathering through alternating wetting and drying of rocks thereby leading to breaking down of the rock. It helps in chemical weathering through dissolution of chemicals in rocks such as limestone. Water is a cause of both chemical and physical weathering.
1. Chemical Weathering: Where different chemicals such as acid rain react with soft stone such as chalk and dissolves it away causing weathering. 2. Biological Weathering : Where organisms such as trees have an effect of rocks due to their roots breaking away at them when they grow through the soils underneath.
A type of Chemical weathering that happens when water interacts with minerals.

Weathering is weathering, no matter how it occurs. Both chemical and biological weathering wear down rock. They simply go about it in different ways.

Biological weathering
The three main types of weathering are mechanical weathering, chemical weathering, and biological weathering. Mechanical weathering involves physical processes like freezing and thawing, chemical weathering involves chemical reactions that break down rocks, and biological weathering involves living organisms breaking down rocks.
The three types of weathering are physical, chemical, and biological. Physical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing their composition. Chemical weathering occurs when minerals in rocks are dissolved or altered by chemical reactions. Biological weathering is the breakdown of rocks by living organisms like plants or animals.

Weathering of any kind can sometimes cause problems, like erosion of topsoil. Biological weathering, where the weathering is caused by living things (plants and animals), can cause the same kinds of problems.
