Frequently asked questions
The house is only a few years old. How can the slab edge already be wet?
New is not high. These pads were filled over citrus and wetland, and the water table under west Orange did not move when the streets went in. A June storm then ponds in swales that barely fall, and irrigation keeps the same soil wet between cells. Age of the roof is not the diagnosis; the fill is.
The association waters every morning. Is that enough to matter next to June rain?
It is the water that never stops. June's 8.76 inches arrives in bursts; the heads wet the same stucco strip every day from March through October. On a fill pad that already sits close to the table, that daily strip is more hours of wet wall than the wettest month. Heads that stop short of the house are the first change.
The weep screed is buried in mulch. Does that matter on a new house?
Yes, and it happens fast. Production stucco needs that metal strip open so water behind the covering can leave. A couple of years of mulch and settled grade bury it, and June rain then sits in the wall instead of draining. Uncovering the weep is a smaller job than opening the wall later.
