What Our Pros Check on a Stucco Chimney
These are the checks, cutbacks and rebuilds our stucco chimney experts carry out on a visit in Palma Ceia.
Framed chimneys and the metal chase cover
A framed stucco chimney is capped with a metal chase cover rather than a masonry crown. If that cover is rusted, flat or sagging, water collects on top and works into the framing and the stucco below.
Our pros check the chase cover whenever stucco on a framed chimney is cracked or stained near the top. Replacing a cover is its own job, and when the framing underneath has rotted, chase repair comes before the stucco is closed back up.
A repair mix that suits the old stucco
Stronger is not always better in stucco. The International Masonry Institute asks for a repair mix with similar strength, density, porosity and water absorption to the existing stucco, and the Park Service warns that rigid portland cement patches do not suit soft lime-based stucco.
Our pros look at the age and hardness of your chimney's stucco before choosing a mix. A patch that is much harder than its surroundings tends to crack at its edges and trap moisture beside it, the opposite of what a repair should do.
Cleaning stucco without damaging it
Stucco is softer than it looks, and a high-pressure wash can erode its surface and drive water into cracks. The Park Service's brief recommends a low-pressure water wash with soft brushes, with suitable methods for algae and mildew.
Our pros clean stained stucco gently before assessing it, so cracks and hollow spots are not hidden under grime. If the growth keeps coming back, we look for the damp spot that feeds it.
Vines and shrubs against a stucco chimney
Vines that climb a stucco chimney can root into cracks, and shrubs planted tight against it keep the base damp and shaded. Preservation Brief 22 counts intrusive vegetation among the causes of stucco damage.
Our pros trim back growth where they need to work and suggest how much space to leave around the chimney. Clinging vines are removed gently so healthy stucco is not pulled off with them.
