Stucco remediation addresses serious issues that simple repairs can't fix. When moisture has penetrated behind your stucco and caused damage to the wall structure, insulation, or framing, comprehensive remediation is necessary to prevent further deterioration and protect your home.
At REVMA, we specialize in diagnosing and correcting the underlying causes of stucco failure. Our remediation process doesn't just treat symptoms—we identify moisture sources, repair structural damage, and rebuild your wall assembly with proper moisture management systems.
The result is a permanently fixed wall system that will protect your home for decades, not just cover up problems temporarily.
Warning Signs You Need Remediation
Don't wait until the damage becomes catastrophic. These signs indicate serious moisture problems requiring professional remediation:
Interior Water Stains
Discoloration on interior walls, especially near windows or at wall base
Musty Odors
Persistent moldy or damp smell inside walls or rooms
Soft or Spongy Stucco
Areas that feel soft when pressed or sound hollow when tapped
Visible Mold Growth
Black, green, or white mold on exterior or interior surfaces
Recurring Repairs
Same areas needing repair repeatedly despite previous fixes
Window/Door Problems
Staining or deterioration around window and door openings
Our Comprehensive Remediation Process
Moisture Inspection
Use moisture meters and infrared cameras to map all affected areas and identify water entry points.
Stucco Removal
Carefully remove stucco from affected areas to expose substrate and assess full extent of damage.
Structural Repair
Replace damaged sheathing, framing, and insulation. Treat or remove any mold contamination.
Moisture Protection
Install proper drainage planes, moisture barriers, and flashing to prevent future water intrusion.
Final Step: Professional Reinstallation
Apply new stucco or alternative siding using best practices and modern materials. Your wall assembly is now properly protected against moisture and will perform reliably for decades.
Common Issues We Remediate
Missing or Improper Flashing
Many stucco moisture problems stem from inadequate or missing flashing around windows, doors, and roof transitions. We install proper flashing to direct water away from wall cavities.
- Head flashing above all openings
- Kickout flashing at roof intersections
- Pan flashing at window sills
No Drainage Plane
Older stucco installations often lack proper drainage planes behind the stucco. We install modern drainage systems that allow moisture to escape rather than accumulate.
- Two-layer weather barrier systems
- Drainage mat installation
- Weep screeds for base drainage
Rotted Sheathing & Framing
Long-term moisture exposure causes wood rot in wall sheathing and framing. We remove all compromised materials and rebuild the wall structure to code.
- Replace damaged OSB or plywood sheathing
- Repair or replace compromised framing
- Install new insulation if damaged
Mold & Contamination
Moisture behind stucco creates ideal conditions for mold growth. We follow proper protocols to safely remove contaminated materials and prevent future growth.
- Safe mold remediation procedures
- Treatment of affected areas
- Prevention through moisture control
