how, why and where to install stucco drip screeds

Howdy guys and gals, in this video I explain the importance of proper flashing. Weeps screeds do exactly what they are designed to do: weep water away from the structure through a series of holes. This helps to protect the edge of the sheathing from moisture and insect damage.

    One question for you:Why do you use that big hammer tacker to tack the paper to the wall?? I have seen those tackers been used by roofers or carpenters plaining interior walls for drywall.For me that tacker is heavy and most of the time makes holes on the paper with a big chance for water leaks later. I have used for many years the Rapid-19 tacker that is ligther and doesnot leave holes behind (saving you time with your caulking gun) This is just an observation.Great Videos.Thanks

    Hey Juan, I find the Stanley PHT250C is the one I prefer. It cost a little more but last twice as long as the others. It has a spring mechanism, which helps set staples squarely with just a slight tap of the wrist. Of course the paper has to be absolutely flat and you have to hammer it just as flat or the staple will rip the paper. If the staple does not set firm and flat the wind can shake a hole in the paper in that area. But of course even they sometimes malfunction.

    A question for you if you have the time. I'm working on remediating some water intrusion on a 100 y/o stucco home (not frame, this is the real deal) and retaining walls. First step is getting all the grading away from the house. No weep screed was installed and I am not able to tear into the old stucco but was thinking of trying to add some weep holes to the retaining wall. Do you think that it would do any good to do the same and drill (maybe 1/4") into the exterior of the house then installing some fine mesh screen to keep out pests? Thank you

      Good Evening Charles, that would be the easiest but not the most effective, a french drain system would be better,
      Relax about the weep screed my home did not have one either as it only became code in 1975 or about this time, which made it mandatory for these screeds to be installed,
      BTW, my company did not start installing them until about 1980 ,hence any home olded which is 80% of the homes in this country probably don't have them either.

    Kirk and Jay,Thanks for all your hard work and putting these videos up! I just moved back down to So Cal after living in Oakland for the past couple years, and just got into the family business of plastering. I'm currently doing all the paperwork/emails for our estimators and project managers, but didn't know shit about the actual methods, techniques, and materials until I started watching all your videos. It's all starting to come together now and I'm starting to feel more qualified to hopefully move up a bit in the company. Just wanted to say thanks and I hope Oakland/Berkeley's treating you well.Cheers!Matt
