Gentleman, I could use some help on this. I am trying to help a local agent clear up a somewhat ambiguous report and remedy request, in that they really didn’t specifiy what they wanted done, only that attention was needed at the stucco on the chimney area.
Take a look at the pics below and let me know you’re opinions on cause and further action and or a remedy. The inspection report points out that stucco should not be used on sloped surface because of its porosity or something to that effect. A stucco guy was on site as well when I got there, and he had recommended that we wait till it dries for him to have a better look at it and he has suggested sealing and painting it. I told the agent what a great source of information that I have in this board and would get him some additional feedback.
