Get step-by-step info on installing stucco weep or drip screeds

Hello everyone, in this video I show an example of what is necessary to attach drip or weep screeds (both words mean the same thing) to a foundation that is not true and plumb.
How, where and why to install drip or weep screeds.

    Howdy deezynar, thank you.
    Had I not caught this flaw on the first season of rain the unit below would have leaked like a sieve. The general contractor’s men had installed that one, however it’s part of my job as the stucco contractor to catch important mistakes like this.
    It’s never any fun if a problem occurs years later and the finger pointing starts, I have been there and reconize it pays to pay attention.
    Best wishes and have a great day!

    My stucco goes all the way to the ground around my entire house. Do I need to break out the stucco and install a drip screed? If not the whole house are there specific areas that I need it one?

      Morning Tim Wells, good question, all home built before 1975 have the stucco stopping at the the ground, The code for weep screeds was not applicable until 1975, we started installing them in 1980 ourselves, my own home does not have this screed either. I am not concerned. You can spend the cash to have this done , but I wouldn't. Cheers and have a happy new year. Kirk Giordano Plastering
