Need to ID type of stucco

Specific Inspection Topics Exterior Inspections
1

home built 2003, has details that are slope to prevent water pooling on flat surfaces, has kick out flashing. Looks to be a thin coat stucco 3/8 inch or so. My concern is the cracks over the front door. Plus, I found the under a bay window in the front the stucco has no weep in the front and is stucco under the bay window back to the house.

Also, there is no caulking around any window or door opening, I’m not sure if is required or not. the stucco goes right up to the window frame but there is a gap of about an 1/8 to 1/16 of inch around the windows, there is metal flashing over the top of the window frame.

Any help would be great, I’ll get photos up when I find my adapter cord.

Thanks

Gotta’ have caulking around penetrations like doors and windows. Gotta’ have something at the bottom wall termination to seal the wall assembly but still allow moisture to escape from behind the stucco. Like Weep Screed!

If there is no backer rod and sealant joints around the windows and doors they also are not installed to the mfgrs. specs. It voids the warranty on them.
Some of the onecote systems as you are implying do not call for weepscreed they call for a weeping caseing bead that has holes in the bottom of it! And the one cote systems are put on very thin.

But there needs to be backer rod and sealant joints around all penetrations according to ASTM specs for it to be properly installed!
ASTM C 926 ASTM C 1063

“File is damaged and could not be repaired.”

It worked for me just now.

I’m looking for a good illustration to include in my reports showing the proper lower wall termination for EIFS. Around here. they never use anything. Anyone got one they’d like to share? (couldn’t copy the PDF’s)

Instead of “copy,” try “File save as.”

Here’s another guide that I have stored at About Homes:

Thanks Russel, I can save the file, I just can’t cut out the illustration.

Take a screen shot (usually SHIFT PRTSCN), then open any photo editing software, paste the screen shot in there (SHIFT INSERT or CONTROL V), modify as necessary, and save.

This is one brand of residential, there are others and commercial applications.
You’ll have to search for your system type.

Yeah, I know now you have to disclaim that the photos are not the brand system that is installed on the subject property. Unless it is then it’s copy and paste.

Everything comes with a price.

Marcel,

Did i miss something?](“http://www.smileycentral.com/sig.jsp?pc=ZSzeb095&pp=ZZ”)[/size][/FONT]

Yeah, Marcel. If I’m intimidating, I wish you’d tell my kids.

Didn’t miss a thing Barry.
I just get blown away with you guys knowledge on this stucco stuff, and when I try to help, I feel a little bit out of place, but that is perfectly alright, that is how we obtain knowledge right??

Take care and I enjoy your postings.
Work as a Team.
Not Always Certain How Interpetated. Does this not spell NACHI/
