Making a Stucco Chimney Sound Again in Ruskin
These are the checks, cutbacks and rebuilds our stucco chimney experts carry out on a visit in Ruskin.
Why caulk is a poor fix for hairline cracks
Caulk is a quick answer to a hairline crack, but it rarely looks or behaves like stucco. The same Park Service brief notes that caulking compounds weather differently, attract dirt and show clearly on a stucco face.
Our team uses a flexible sealant only where a crack is still moving and a rigid patch would crack again, and even then the product is chosen to suit the joint. For stable hairline cracks, a slurry or a compatible coating blends in and holds.
Cutting back to sound stucco
Loose or crumbling stucco is removed down to the lath or the masonry, and the edges of the repair are cut square. Federal preservation guidance calls for a squared-off butt joint at the edge, so the new stucco meets the old cleanly.
Our specialists cut back only as far as the tapping map and the edges demand, and the backing is cleaned before any new material goes on. Square edges give the patch something solid to lock against.
Bulging stucco on a chimney
A bulge in stucco is a section that has pulled away from its backing and is being pushed out, often by rusting lath or water behind it. Left alone, a bulge can crack open and fall away in pieces.
Our pros sound the area around a bulge to find its true edges, since the loose zone is often larger than the visible swelling. The section is removed, the backing is repaired and new stucco is built up in coats to match.
Working safely at the top of the chimney
Stucco repairs near the top of a chimney mean working on the roof, and that takes planning. Our crew protects the shingles or tile under the work area, keeps debris off the roof and out of the gutters, and sets up so new stucco can be applied and cured properly.
Please keep off the roof and away from loose stucco yourself. Our specialists handle the access, and anything we find up top, such as a cracked crown or loose flashing, is shown to you before it is added to the plan.
