Making a Stucco Chimney Sound Again in Town 'n' Country
Hairline crack or full restucco, our pros recommend the smallest repair that will truly hold.
Fixing the water source before the stucco
Repairing stucco over an active leak buys a few months at best. The National Park Service traces most stucco decay to water and says to repair the source first, whether that is the roof, a gutter or downspout, the flashing or drainage around the base.
Our team checks the crown, the cap, the flashing and the drainage around your chimney before planning the stucco work. Each source we find gets its own price line, which shows you which work stops the water and which work mends the damage.
The paper layer on framed chimneys
On a framed chimney, stucco over wood-based sheathing needs a water-resistive barrier behind it. The Florida residential code sets its performance at no less than two layers of Grade D paper, which gives water that gets past the stucco a path down and out.
When our pros open stucco on a framed chase and find torn, missing or rotted paper, it is replaced and lapped correctly before new lath goes on. That hidden layer is what keeps the framing dry when water gets past the finish.
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.
Gutters, downspouts and splash-back
A gutter that overflows at the chimney, or a downspout that empties beside it, keeps the lower stucco wet. The Park Service lists leaking gutters and splash-back among the everyday causes of stucco decay.
Our specialists repair the damaged stucco and show you where the water is coming from so it can be redirected. A short downspout extension can protect a repair better than a heavier patch.
