Good evening Simple Living, if you wish to live simply and keep yourself healthy. Leaking stucco walls causes mold that when it enters your house, you cant see it unless it turns black. If this happens, it's not good. Each time you, your lover, your kid, dog, or even a cat walks by. Dried mold becomes airborne, then you inhale it, not good, either. My advice to you is your low on cash, as most are, pressure washes the exterior wall that's leaking, then caulk any and all cracks after you have sealed all the cracks or gaps. Apply the best primer paint sold. I will list two here they are the best, in my opinion. The best is Renew, by Stucco-flex, www.stucoflex.com/pdf/RenewPD2016.pdf/. Then Sherman Willaims. These are acrylics paints. You might ask, What the hell are acrylic paints? Let just simplify things and say a rubber coating. Cheers, brother. 🍾

Thanks. I appreciate your videos. I'm currently deciding whether or not to pay a stucco guy or do the job myself. Termite damage, will likely have to cut the stucco from the outside of the house because the damage may be above the ceiling of the garage ( I can't access it from within the garage anymore, I've exposed the wood header above the garage door but I will have to cut into the facade above the top of the garage looking from the outside in order to definitively see the extent of the damage vertically). There are so many resources online that say different things that I'm torn about what to do exactly. I'm a complete beginner - what are the basic steps from the wood header all the way to the finishing touch? Wood, paper, lath, stucco coat 1, stucco coat 2?
@iip47c Hey dude, good question. Our pneumatic staple guns use staples from 7/8 up to 2 inches to account for most sheer wall sizes (plywood usually) what is necessary is for 7/8 of the staple leg to be into the stud for fastening wire to the supporting structure. This necessary nailing or stapling gives the wall the needed structural strength per square inch to accommodate for the weight of the stucco. Improper nailing usually results in cracking. Have a groovy day! Kirk Giordano Plastering
@lrd9999 Hey guy, with any project we apply the two layers of paper as high as possible then fuse the paper to whatever surface we have to stop at. If flanges, paper or wood can be lifted slightly with a cats paw, pry-bar or the the claw of a hammer it would make the job much easier for us.

Kirk, I LOVE this video! Why? Because you could have just left the rot, fixed the stucco and taken the easy way out! Got the money and left that family with mold that would eventually cause serious health problems. But you DIDNT! NO, you are an honest, caring, patient, good man! So is your entire family! You did right by them, therefore, right by me! Not that my opinion matters much, but I wanted you to know that 😉 live long and plaster kirk!

@iip47c I have removed about as much stucco in the last 4 years of recession as I have in the 20 plus combined. I wish I could find a home where is comes off as easy. But seriously the staples on this home must have been in the field and not stapled as they should have been into the stud. Best wishes. Kirk Giordano plastering

Kirk, I've removed the interior drywall and insulation in a room behind stucco. The wood plyboard behind the stucco is rotted. Not wet anymore. Fixed the leak source outside (roofer didn't use flashing!!!)...Question is, if only about a 2' wide section of the board is rotted, is their a solution where I can NOT have to break down the stucco outside and put a new board in?
Howdy mark, I am really sorry to say this but "no," if their was, I would have used that quicker method myself. If there is no paper left plus the shear wall has rot, you gotta bite the bullet and remove and repair. FYI, wood rot is sort of like cancer left alone it spreads and is a breeding ground for mold, fungi and wood eating bug such as termites which when dead attract ants..... best wishes, kirk giordano Rendering
Yeah, didn't think so. The paper is still there. Just crumbly wood mixed in with the good board for a section unfortunately. Fortunately it's dry now and not moldy. Just dead patches of wood board.
Sorry brother been there on my own home, sucks but that is part of life, deterioration,however it's worse when it happens to our bodies or minds. kirk giordano rendering
I'm repairing a wall after foundation work and there are a few places where I cant seem to find any paper because its rotted out. I've reached up a few feet behind the stucco and still nothing. Its about a 16 inch section and I am wondering: A. Does Code require that you overlap new paper with old? B. If so do I keep breaking out the wall until I find paper or is there another option? Thanks,

Viewed this one several times Kirk because it's fairly typical of wall problems in our Eastern climates. Might add...the gutter above that wall looks to me very unhelpful. I'd bet that the bent section above where you first started the video allowed water to simply cascade over the gutter edge and down their exterior wall. There didn't seem to be any downspout to carry water from the gutter section past the foundation into the property. You were smart to charge T&M especially on a job needing several local code inspection visits.
Good morning pensive, there were quite a few reasons this wall was in bad shape, a gutter would have been a great idea. best wishes, Sound advice for plastering issues from your favorite stucco geeks
Clorox solution? especially on porous gypsum does not work. Firstly, it is not EPA approved for disrupting spores because it is not effective. Secondly, the solution is mainly water, approximately 97%, which soaks into the porous surface and feeds the spores. The chlorine is used up on the surface and does not penetrate. In essence you are just giving any cultures a hair cut followed by a massive buffet. The worst part is your public video is promoting a technique and solution for killing mould that gives viewers false information especially when there can be serious health concerns. The wall is then covered up with the moisture inside and the homeowners believe that is the end of the problem.
