Facts about stucco weep or drip screeds.
If your home was built before 1975, you wouldn’t have weep or drip screed as building codes did not require it until about 1975.
If your stucco goes below the mudsill and into the dirt, the worst that happens is with movement. The home’s stucco can often crack and sometimes buckle a bit.
Weep, or drip screed has many purposes. One is to provide an expansion joint, and the other is to provide a stop and a guild to apply the proper depth or thickness of the stucco.
There are a few more reasons for a weep or drip screed, but these are the best reasons to install them.
I believe it’s a myth or false belief that bugs will enter if the stucco is taken to the ground.
BTW, when attaching the weep screeds onto the substrate or plywood surface below the mudsill.
It does not matter if the weep screed touches the foundation.
This depends on the plywood installation and is harmless.

Thank you all for watching, and wishing all a great day!
Hey Kirk, thank you for this! Did you cut out that channel in the concrete? I need to do this on my house!! Ahhh
Howdy Blast Reading series, No, that gab was where the existing garage was.
We simply filled it with a quality polyurethane caulking and placed a galvanized metal in it to protect the mudsill from rotting once again. Once that metal was in place, we countered it with another stucco metal weep screed.🍾💃
@@StuccoPlastering Kirk, I really can't thank you enough for the reply. I really appreciate it. Been agonizing for the better part of two weeks (new home, first home, what we thought was our dream home!) and find rotten sills has been an absolute nightmare... Will need to give this a good ol try! :) Cheers man!
With what you just taught me Ide set me laser to make it very tits to the eye . Everything else would would be highlight by it's true line . But no way I would have know what to do before you showed me . Thank you Kirk
Hey thank you Kirk . You always help me in a way I can understand.
Hey Kirk thank you very much I enjoy the way you teach
1960's built house, searched Google for days trying to find this answer ... Thanks Kirk!
Thank you Mr. kirk and jason that was tip and again thanks for taking the time to make all the great video
Hey Gil, always nice to hear from you,
Thanks for the bone, I hope you had a good Christmas and a happy New Year. Remember don’t drink too much, leave that part to us experts.
Have a groovy Holiday!

Howdy funsizeco, thank you.
Current codes usually don’t apply to existing garages or homes.
For example, new codes call for 6 inches above grade. However if your foundation is above grade 2 inches, simply install your weep screed a half inch or so below the wood mud sill. You will only have about I inch above grade but that o.k. in most states.
Best wishes with your project and have a great rest of your day!

Howdy Mike,
You have to break out the stucco at least 6 to 8 inches up the wall.
Lift the paper and wire and install the weep screed.
Install new screed on the mud sill on the framed wall.
It’s a drag to break out but that’s the proper way. Then re-stucco.
Best wishes and have a good evening!

Hi Kirk, great videos. I had a question if you have a moment. I have a similar problem to this video around my garage, but I have no plywood backing to staple the flashing to. The wall is only made up of paper, wire, and plaster. How do I fix something like this?
Thanks,
Mike
Thanks for the reply, you guys rock. One thing I forgot to mention... the garage foundation is hardly 2in above grade. Does this change how you would do this?
Good morning Kirk. I have a job where the stucco is below the concrete sidewalk next to it. It also has a slab foundation and the stucco wall is flush with the sill plate. That area has been leaking for years into the interior. The bottom sill is rotted. Someone tried to fix it by adding a bunch of concrete to the bottom of the wall to make it bulge out onto the sidewalk in hopes of making the water shed away from the bottom of the wall. It failed badly. Any idea how this can be fixed? I am a little south of you in gilroy.
Sure, you can break it out and do what is being done in this video for a permanent solution. Or leave it and apply an acrylic finish stucco over it, like Stucco-Flex; it may stop the water from seeping in for up to 25 years as it's a rubber membrane.
Sorry, but,when that fails will you volunteer to make the repairs termite activity will require? The 6" window of inspection required by the code, allows visual access to the entry points.
What i see is a built in permanent hidden termite funnel......what are some of the other ways you've corrected this problem.
Evening dblhlr, cute, I'm a 30 plus year applicator that has been warranting any and all applications from the start of my career and as transparent a plastering outfit that is licensed in the state of california, the proof is in this transparent video.
Are you a college graduate that has a large book that you frequently reference from on a regularly basic for code requirements? If so, no shame in this.
Or perhaps you are an architect or GC, If so again no worries.
Relax you can state more than your name, rank and number, don't feel like a prisoner of war, just because you object to my methods, after more than 9,000,000 views with the 700 videos we have uploaded, I'm sure many other disagree with my learned methods also, that's no disgrace for me.
However, if you are going to object to anyone's ideas at least post your real name and or at a least a picture, for your own peace of mind or dignity,
Best wishes,.

What ever?
Maybe in Montana! What is the life span of your polyurethane caulk installed at or below grade? Not to mention, water will follow your staples thru the entire system. You said "usually what we want is a 1/2 inch above the concrete" imaginative! Unfortunately (IMO) this would not last in any moist climate.
thanks for the tip.
I dont understand.one side..you habe 3 layers of.flashing and the other side you have 2. Why did you need all that flashing? Isnt the water still going to drop on the side of the walk way?
It’s to stop the wood from getting wet from the rain.
You couldn't use roof to wall then counter it with your weep screed since the roof to wall is a little wider.
There are many ways to skin a cat.
I have stucco below grade about 5 inches but it has block walls 2 feet above grade. Is this an area of concern ?
Howdy Nick, It's only a concern if the wood is exposed as stucco and blocks can't rot.🍻
Hello Sir. I have a specific question that maybe one of your videos has already answered.
Quickly:
There is a gap between the Stucco and the Foundation Wall that my client wants to improve visually, but I don't want to compromise the weep screed. Do you have any product recommendations or techniques that you could share with me please? The overall goal is for me to maintain the drainage but improve the poorly installed systems aesthetics without blocking the weep screed drainage.
Many thanks!
Good Evening Spiny, without a visual I can't recommend, sorry
Live long and plaster

Just my opinion, too much flashing
But I enjoy watching your videos!
Hi Mike, it was the necessary amount. I would rather use more than enough and not have rot issues in the future; personally, thanks for the opinion.🍾
