Flat roof supper leaks in stucco wall found during rain #homeinspection
Repairing a leaking scupper that is causing water damage to a stucco wall below can be a challenging task. Here are some general steps to follow to address the issue:
Identify the source of the leak: Inspect the scupper and the surrounding area to determine where the water is coming from. It could be a damaged scupper, a clogged drain, or an issue with the downspout or gutter.
Fix the scupper: If the scupper is damaged or rusted, it may need to be replaced or repaired. A professional contractor can help you assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action.
Clear the drain: If the scupper is not the problem, it's possible that the drain is clogged. Use a plumbing snake or a high-pressure water jet to clear the drain of any debris or blockages.
Repair the stucco: If water has penetrated the stucco and caused damage, you may need to repair or replace the affected area. This may involve cutting out the damaged stucco, applying a waterproofing membrane, and then reapplying stucco.
Prevent future damage: To prevent future water damage, consider installing a waterproofing membrane or a drainage mat behind the stucco to help redirect any water that may enter the wall cavity.
It's important to note that repairing a leaking scupper and the resulting damage to the stucco wall may require the expertise of a professional contractor. If you're not comfortable tackling this project on your own, it's best to seek out the help of a qualified professional.
