Making a Stucco Chimney Sound Again in Thonotosassa
Hairline crack or full restucco, our pros recommend the smallest repair that will truly hold.
Corroded lath behind the stucco
Metal lath and the fasteners that hold it can rust when water gets behind the stucco, and wood lath can rot. Either way the stucco loses its hold, which is how a wall that looked fine can start to crack and bulge in one area.
The Florida residential code calls for corrosion-resistant lath and attachments on exterior plaster. When our pros find rusted lath on your chimney, it is replaced with corrosion-resistant lath before new stucco goes on, and the estimate shows how much was affected.
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.
A yearly look at the stucco
The U.S. Fire Administration advises having chimneys cleaned and inspected by a professional every year, and the stucco can be checked on that same visit. Small cracks, a new stain or a hollow patch are simplest to fix when they are first found.
Our pros tap and look over the stucco on every chimney visit in Thonotosassa and note anything that has changed since the last one. You hear about it early, with a price, and decide when to act.
Caring for a new stucco repair
A new repair needs time before it is painted or coated, and the materials used set that timing. Our specialists tell you how long to wait and what to avoid, such as pressure washing or hanging anything on the fresh stucco.
If a new crack or stain shows up later, let us know rather than covering it with another coat. Our workmanship warranty covers the repairs we do, and a look at the change tells us whether it is the repair or something new.
