Efflorescence along the foundation wall, just below stucco

@spayson

“Footer” - a piece of text, such as a page number or a title, that appears at the bottom of every page of a document or book.

“Footing” - an important part of foundation construction. They are typically made of concrete with rebar reinforcement that has been poured into an excavated trench.

I considered that, but thought, because it’s slab on grade water pooling on the backside of the footer, and below the slab, the efflorescence might indicate the moisture is traveling through the concrete and not just washing down the inside of the stucco. Does that seem logical? As an inspector it seems to me to be my job to call it out rather than diagnose it. But it’s cool to theorize what is going on there

Yup, cool is cool. Good luck Robert
