Repair structural cracks in stucco siding
Hello there folks, This video explains, step by step, how to correct cracks in you lower stucco walls due to shifting of foundations. We were already aware that the foundation might have some structural issues. When we removed the stucco for the repair I did notice only the corner was bad the rest of the foundation was in perfect condition, which means when they poured it an air pocket may have been in this area. I see this sort of thing every once in a while. We repaired it best as possible with stucco and wire. My opinion is it will last at least another 20 years but will redevelop some cracks in similar locations as the stucco is butted to the foundation, and the concrete walkway next to it without an expansion. The majority of homes I work on are similar to this. It was common practice in those days to do this and I still see this today. I mention this so anyone who may be reading won’t panic as it’s not a severe problem most of the time.
