Inside a Stucco Chimney Repair in Progress Village
Our specialists cut back to sound edges, build proper coats and keep every patch damp while it cures.
Why a patch should not lap over old stucco
Feathering a patch out over the surrounding stucco looks tidy on the first day and fails at its thin edges soon after. The Park Service's brief is direct about it, saying the new stucco should not overlap the old.
Our pros build each patch flush within its squared edges and match the finish at the surface, so there is no thin rim to crack or peel. Where scoring lines exist on the chimney, repairs end on those lines so the joint is hidden.
Letting trapped water drain out at the base
On framed exterior walls, the Florida residential code calls for a corrosion-resistant weep screed at the bottom of the stucco, placed no lower than 4 inches above soil or 2 inches above paving, so trapped water can drain out.
Stucco that has been run down into soil or mulch, or a screed that is buried or clogged, holds water in the wall. Our specialists check the base of a framed chimney and tell you when the screed or the grade around it needs attention.
Dampening the masonry before a patch
Dry block or brick pulls water out of fresh stucco before it can cure, which weakens the bond. The Park Service's brief calls for wetting masonry or wood lath before patching, while metal lath is left dry.
Our specialists dampen the backing so it is moist without standing water, then apply the first coat. That small step is why a patch stays put years later.
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.
