Stucco repair in San Jose
A lot of San Jose went up in a hurry after the war: Census counts compiled by the Bay Area's Metropolitan Transportation Commission show the city more than quadrupling between 1950 and 1970. If your house dates from that run, its stucco is 55 to 75 years old and has already ridden out a few earthquakes.
More are likely. The U.S. Geological Survey puts the chance of at least one magnitude 6.7 or larger quake in the Bay Area before 2043 at 72 percent. Cosmetic or not, every crack in old stucco is a way in for winter rain, and that water does its damage out of sight.
Then look down at where the wall meets the dirt. University of California pest experts warn that stucco siding that reaches the ground may promote termite infestations, because termites can travel unseen between the siding and the foundation. On an older house, planters, mulch and raised beds can end up piled against that bottom edge. Pull the soil back so you can see that edge. It makes damage easier to judge, and termite trouble easier to catch.
