The way we handle stucco chimneys in Boggy Creek
A closer look at the stucco work our team does on chimneys in Boggy Creek.
The weep screed at the bottom of lathed stucco
Where lathed stucco ends at the bottom of a wall, the Florida residential code calls for a corrosion-resistant weep screed of at least No. 26 gage with a flange of 3 1/2 inches or more, mounted 4 inches or more above soil or 2 inches or more above paving.
That strip gives water behind the stucco a way out. If the base of a chimney has been buried by soil, mulch or a raised patio, we point it out and explain what clearing or repairing that edge would involve. On a chase that sits on the roof, the bottom edge meets flashing instead, and we check that joint the same way.
Square patch edges and clean joints
A patch with clean, squared edges bonds better and blends more easily than a ragged hole. The Park Service describes squaring off the repair area with a butt joint so the new stucco meets the old cleanly.
On a chimney we often line those edges up with corners, score lines or the roof line. A neat outline is part of making the finished face read as one surface rather than a collection of patches. Where an irregular outline will hide better on a textured face, we explain why and let you see the plan first.
Removing bad stucco without breaking the good
Heavy hammering while removing loose stucco can crack the sound finish next to it. The Park Service guidance warns against breaking the keys of surrounding good stucco during removal.
Our crew removes loose material with sharp tools and controlled cuts. Keeping the surrounding finish intact keeps the repair area as small as it needs to be, which keeps your cost down too. Cuts are made along the planned outline first, then the loose material inside is removed.
White deposits on the stucco surface
White, powdery deposits show that water is moving through the stucco and leaving dissolved minerals behind as it dries. They mark the water path rather than being the problem themselves.
Brushing them off helps the look for a while. Stopping them means finding the source, which we trace during the inspection and address in the estimate. A gentle cleaning after the repair usually removes what is left, and new deposits should not return once the water path is closed.

What Boggy Creek homeowners ask about stucco repair
Still weighing it up? These answers help, and the stucco inspection in Boggy Creek is free.
Can I pressure wash my stucco chimney?
High pressure can erode the texture and drive water into cracks, so we advise against it. A gentle rinse with a soft brush is safer. Keep all washing off new stucco until it has cured.
What causes rust stains on chimney stucco?
Usually corroding metal inside the finish, such as lath, fasteners or corner bead. Painting over the stain hides it only for a while. We find the rusting metal, replace it in the repair area and rebuild the stucco around it.
