What is a weep screed?

A weep screed is a metal flashing installed at the base of stucco walls where they meet the foundation. It has small weep holes that allow trapped moisture to escape from behind the stucco. It is required by California building code on all stucco installations.

How do I know if my weep screed is damaged?

Signs of weep screed problems include:Staining or discoloration at the base of your wallsCrumbling stucco near the foundation lineVisible rust or corrosion on the metal stripWeep screed buried by soil or landscapingNo visible metal strip at the base of your stucco wallsIf you see any of these signs, schedule a free assessment.

What does weep screed repair involve?

We remove the stucco at the base of the affected walls, inspect for wood rot and moisture damage underneath, repair any structural issues, install new code-compliant weep screed with proper clearance from the foundation, then rebuild the stucco with a custom texture match.

How much does weep screed repair cost?

Weep screed installation and repair typically starts at $1,200. The exact cost depends on how many linear feet need replacement and whether there is moisture damage to repair underneath. We provide a fixed-price quote after a free assessment.

Is weep screed required by code in California?

Yes. The California Building Code (CBC) requires weep screed on all stucco wall assemblies. It must be installed at least 4 inches above grade (ground level) and at least 2 inches above paved surfaces. Many older homes were built without it or have weep screed that no longer meets current code.

“We got in contact with the Stucco Champions company after it rained we had water get into our garage and had no idea why. They found the problem right away. The weep screed at the bottom of our exterior stucco wall was damaged and needed replacing. They did the full weep screed installation and fixed the stucco damage around it. The texture blending was great and the finish matches perfectly. No more leaks since the repair.”

“We had some bad cracking on our exterior walls. The stucco contractor came out, assessed the stucco damage, and handled the stucco crack repair quickly. The texture blending was great and you honestly can't tell where the stucco patching was done. Really impressed with the quality of the stucco wall repair.”
