Stucco points that decide the repair in Timber Springs
The points below shape the stucco repair we recommend in Timber Springs, and each one appears in your estimate.
Tapping the stucco to find loose areas
National Park Service guidance on stucco repair notes that unsound areas which have lost their key give a hollow sound when tapped gently. We sound every face of the chimney this way during the inspection, not only the patch around a visible crack.
Loose areas are marked and measured so the estimate covers the full separated section. Pricing only the crack you can see is how a repair ends up cracking again right beside the new patch. A plastic or wooden mallet does the job without marking the finish, and the whole chimney can be sounded in one visit.
Choosing a coating from its data sheet
Coatings sold for stucco vary widely. Sto, for example, lists high vapor permeability for its elastomeric coatings, while other films are much tighter. The word elastomeric on a label does not tell you how a product behaves.
When a coating is part of your estimate, we name the product and explain why it suits your chimney's surface. You can read the same data sheet we used to choose it. If you already have a coating in mind, we check it against the surface and tell you honestly whether it suits.
Checking the sheathing once the stucco is open
Once lath is exposed on a framed chase, the sheathing behind it can be checked by feel and by probing for softness. Dark staining on the paper is a clue that water has been getting through for a while.
We note what we find in writing. Sound sheathing is left alone, and damaged areas are quoted before the new barrier, lath and stucco are installed. Where the barrier and sheathing are sound, the repair goes straight to new lath and coats.
A repair mix that behaves like the old stucco
The International Masonry Institute says a stucco repair mix should come close to the old stucco in strength, density, porosity and water absorption. A mismatch in any of those shows up as cracking or staining at the patch edges.
We choose repair materials with the existing finish in mind. A mix far harder or more absorbent than the surrounding stucco may look fine at first and fail at the joint later. That is also why we avoid mixing different repair products on one face.
