Stucco repair in Virginia Beach
On the Hampton Roads coast, stucco has to stand up to rain that blows sideways. When Hurricane Isabel came through in 2003, Norfolk Naval Air Station logged a 72-knot gust, and the storm surge near Hampton Roads ran 5 to 6 feet above normal tide.
Wind-driven water finds every gap. A 1997 state study of synthetic stucco (EIFS) found failures in the Tidewater area. The leaks rarely started in the middle of the wall. They came in where a window, door, deck, roof edge or pipe met the stucco and the joint wasn't flashed or sealed right. Older barrier-type systems gave that water no path back out, so the sheathing behind soaked it up.
If your house has stucco or EIFS from the '90s, look hard at the corners under the windows and at the spot where your deck meets the wall. A stain or a soft patch there tells you more than a crack out in the open does.
In Virginia Beach, siding and EIFS work goes through the city's Permits & Inspections office and gets a final inspection. Book bigger repairs for spring, so the wall is closed up before the stormy months.
