Weep Screed Repair & Retrofitting
Modernize your home's drainage system. We install code-compliant weep screeds to stop moisture from rotting your framing and foundation.
- Prevent Dry Rot
- Code Compliant Retrofit
- Foundation Protection
- Zero Deposits Required
Our Retrofit Process
Older homes often lack proper drainage. We surgically remove the bottom of the wall to install the weep screed without damaging the rest of your stucco.
Concrete Cutting
We perform a precise linear cut along the base of your home to separate the stucco from the foundation, creating space for the new screed.
Start The Process โScreed Installation
We install a galvanized metal weep screed that allows moisture to exit the wall cavity while preventing groundwater from wicking up.
Install Screed โWaterproofing Integration
The new screed is tied into your existing building paper to ensure a continuous water barrier that protects the wood framing.
Protect Framing โStucco Patching
After installation, we patch the cut area with new stucco, blending the texture to match the existing wall as closely as possible.
Finish The Job โWhy We Don't Take Deposits
Installing a weep screed is invasive work. We show you we can do it right before you pay.
Zero Deposit Required
We cover the cost of demolition and materials upfront. You don't pay until we've proven our commitment to the job.
Progress Payments Only
For extensive retrofits, payments are tied to milestones (e.g., after cutting, after installation). This keeps the project on track.
You Stay In Control
You hold the leverage. We earn every payment by delivering a code-compliant installation that protects your home.
Signs You Lack Proper Drainage
If your home was built before the 1970s, you likely don't have a weep screed. Look for these warning signs at the base of your walls.
No Visible Metal
If your stucco runs directly into the soil or concrete without a metal strip at the bottom, moisture is trapped inside the wall.
Efflorescence
White, chalky powder at the base of the wall indicates water is wicking up from the ground through the stucco.
Rotting Mud Sill
If the wood plate (mud sill) that sits on your foundation is rotting, it's because the stucco is bridging moisture directly to the wood.
Damp Smell
A persistent musty odor near exterior walls often means moisture is trapped inside the wall cavity, leading to mold growth.
