What this actually is
Stucco is designed to get wet. What keeps a building dry is the drainage plane behind it: the weather-resistive barrier, the flashing at every penetration, and a path for water to get back out. When those are wrong, the stucco holds water against the sheathing and the frame rots quietly for years.
We start with invasive moisture probing, because surface inspection on stucco tells you very little. Readings taken through the wall at windows, corners, penetrations and the base of the wall give a map of where the assembly has failed.
Remediation means removing the failed stucco, replacing rotted sheathing and framing, and rebuilding the barrier and flashing properly before anything goes back on. Where the assessment shows the failure is localised, we scope it that way rather than selling a whole-house job.
Signs you have this problem
How the work runs
Readings taken through the wall at windows, corners, penetrations and the base. It is the only way to know what is behind it.
Which elevations, which details, how far the damage extends, and whether the frame is involved.
Failed stucco removed under protection, sheathing and framing condition documented as it is exposed.
Sheathing and framing repaired, weather-resistive barrier, flashing and drainage plane rebuilt to detail.
New stucco or alternative cladding, with a finish matched across the elevation.

Questions people ask
Not always, and we will not tell you it does until the probing says so. Failures often concentrate on one or two elevations and around specific details. The survey is what decides the scope.
Because readings taken through the wall are the only reliable way to see behind stucco. The probe holes are small, patched and sealed on the same visit.
It sometimes is, and documented probe readings are what makes that claim possible. Bring us in before the warranty window closes if you have any suspicion at all.

What we fix DiagnosticFind the actual source of the water before anyone opens a wall. Thermal imaging, moisture meters and drone survey, inside and out.
What we fix Major projectContain, remove, treat and verify, with the moisture source fixed. Remediation without that is just an expensive delay.
