Buckling stucco in front of the home.
Repair structural cracks in stucco.
Stucco is cracking at the front of your house.
Folks, if your lower wall sides are buckling, which is more common than the front, these same skills still apply.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. In this video, we are doing some stucco structural maintenance by repairing this unsightly buckling stucco at the front of this home,
I was asked my opinion of what to do, tear it all off, or repair it as best as possible. So, naturally, I said to hire a GC, tear it all off, rebuild the foundation, reconstruct the wood wall, then re-stucco. He said I can’t afford that work. What is another option?
In this video, we show the alternative option.
And that is what I’m doing, a temporary repair.
The concrete foundation is separated from the stucco wall or substrate.
Which of becoming wider each season because it’s allowing rainwater intrusion.
We, like others, are only as good as what we have to work with.
What we’re doing can be made to look good for quite a while.
Perhaps even ten or twenty years or more, it is quite possible.
The work depends on the amount of ground movement, not my corrections.
Repairs like this make my day, as they often require a lot of stucco knowledge to correct this structural difference. It definitely makes the repair I’m doing much more enjoyable.
Keep the cracks caulked to prevent rainwater from entering. Unfortunately, more water enters each season, which is not good, so take some time out and caulk those cracks.
Movement or vibrations to stucco or concrete are not good, but they are typical.
Often, hairline or large stress cracks occur due to settling.
With stucco, the slightest movement and or vibrations cause hairline cracks.
Often this does not affect the integrity of the waterproofing membrane. However, when allowed to get to this stage, it’s either tear into the wall and correct it all or do the best to prevent future water intrusion and help it look as decent as possible because it is still in the front of your house.
Remember, any stucco home movement is like Kryptonite to Superman, which is not good.
But it's completely normal.
We were using a Portland-based stucco with three times the sand for every one part of Portland cement. I added Lumnite to accelerate the stucco.
As a topcoat, we used a La Habra finish coat that matches the texture as closely as possible.
