Stucco repair in Modesto
In Modesto, the river sets the stakes. On January 4, 1997, the Tuolumne at the Modesto gauge reached 71.21 feet, the highest stage on its record, the National Weather Service's river forecast center shows. Major flood stage there is 67 feet, and 55 feet is channel capacity through downtown. The center notes that flows above 40,000 cubic feet per second could do extensive damage to homes and businesses downstream of the gauge. In 1997 the river peaked at 55,800.
Floodwater against a stucco wall doesn't stay on the face. Water that gets behind the finish can sit in the paper and framing long after the river drops. On a house near the river that took water in 1997, the face of the stucco can look fine today while the paper and framing behind it carry the history.
Most houses in the metro aren't new. Half were built in 1983 or earlier, Census estimates show, and more than a third date from the 1970s and '80s. The 2010s added fewer than one in twenty-five.
Outside city limits, Stanislaus County's building division lists stucco and siding as an over-the-counter permit with no plans required, and you can apply online.
