Residential · San Antonio, TX
If your stucco weep screed is buried, rusted, or missing, moisture can wick into the wall and rot framing. Superior Stucco San Antonio has served San Antonio since 2016, repairing weep screeds, flashing, and stucco bases to restore drainage and protect your building.
We start by identifying the existing stucco system (hard-coat over lath, one-coat, or acrylic finish over EPS) and tracing the water path at the base of wall, doors, and slab edges. After protecting landscaping and hardscape, we remove the bottom courses of stucco as needed to expose the weep screed, weather-resistive barrier (WRB), and lath, then clean and dry the area. Damaged WRB, corroded metal lath, and compromised sheathing get replaced before any patching, because base details control long-term performance. We set the new foundation line and drainage plane so the repair ties back into existing stucco without creating a trapped moisture pocket.
San Antonio heat, wind-driven rain, and intense sun punish base flashings, sealant joints, and lower walls where sprinklers and splash-back keep surfaces wet. We correct clearance issues by restoring a visible weep edge and proper termination at slabs and walkways, then install compatible flashings (galvanized or stainless where needed) with end dams and shingle-lapped WRB transitions. Repairs are reinforced with self-furring lath and a code-appropriate stucco build, typically a scratch coat and brown coat to match surrounding thickness before finish. Finally, we blend texture (sand-float, lace, dash, or smooth) and color coat, and we re-seal adjacent control joints, penetrations, or trim with exterior-grade polyurethane or silyl-terminated sealant matched to the assembly.
Customers choose us because we treat stucco weep screed repair as building-envelope work, not cosmetic patching. You get a written scope, clear photos of what we opened up, and options for partial repair versus full base replacement when the WRB or lath is failing. Our crew uses proven materials and methods, including proper lapping, corrosion-resistant fasteners, and consistent coat thickness, so the wall can drain and dry. We work clean, communicate scheduling, and focus on repairs that stop recurring stains, bubbling paint, and soft base stucco.
At closeout we walk the wall with you and verify the weep edge is open and continuous, the bottom termination is straight, and textures align with surrounding elevations. We check adjacent details that commonly feed water into the base, including door thresholds, window sill flashings, hose bibs, stucco-to-trim transitions, and stucco-to-slab sealant joints. You receive a free written estimate up front, then a final summary of materials used, the areas repaired, and maintenance notes such as keeping soil and mulch below the weep screed and avoiding sprinkler spray on stucco. If additional moisture sources are discovered during prep, we document them and recommend the most practical next steps before they become a larger remediation.

Yes. We work on houses, multi-family buildings, offices, and retail properties, including repairs, re-stucco, texture work, and repainting.
Yes. We evaluate likely entry points, including sealant joints and flashing transitions, then rebuild damaged plaster and blend the finish to match.
We install traditional cement plaster stucco and compatible finish systems, including acrylic finishes and elastomeric coating systems when specified for the project.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after an on-site evaluation so you have a clear scope, materials plan, and price.
We aim for a close blend by matching texture and then coating for uniform color. Exact invisibility depends on existing weathering, previous paint layers, and the original texture pattern.
A stucco weep screed is the metal (or PVC) base flashing at the bottom of a stucco wall that lets moisture drain out of the assembly. When it is buried by soil or concrete, rusted through, installed too high, or missing entirely, water can collect behind the stucco, leading to staining, blistering paint, moldy odors, and wood rot at the sill plate. Superior Stucco San Antonio repairs failed weep screeds and related flashings with a process that restores the drainage plane and re-establishes a proper stucco termination.
Weep screed problems usually show up low on the wall: cracking along the slab line, dark moisture marks, crumbling stucco at corners, or efflorescence. Our repair typically involves selective demo of the lower stucco band, removal of compromised lath and flashing, and replacement of WRB in the opened area. We install a new weep screed and any needed kick-out or end-dam flashing so water is directed outward, then re-lath and apply scratch and brown coats to the correct thickness before blending the finish coat.
Local conditions make base details especially important. Splash-back from hardscapes, frequent irrigation, and intense sun cycles can break down sealants and accelerate corrosion. We correct clearance issues where possible and help you prevent recurrence by recommending simple maintenance, like keeping mulch and soil below the weep edge and redirecting sprinkler heads away from stucco walls.
If you suspect a buried or failing stucco weep screed, schedule an evaluation before damage spreads behind the finish. We will document what we find, explain repair options in plain language, and provide a free written estimate with a clear scope and timeline.
Call now or send a request and we will reach out within one business day to schedule your free, no-obligation estimate in San Antonio. We assess the project, review the details, and give you a written quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what to expect.
