Guest guest Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 ayes, it can cause mold in many different ways. If it is not cut 4 " above the ground, it can wick water up behind it . If the house is stick built(wood) they are notoriouse for molding, and even sometimes total deterioration of the structure do to moisture build up. I am sure Carl knows all about stucco > > my parents house is made of fake stucco. do you all know if this stuff is still a problem for mold growth? > > thanks.. > > robin > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 great.... thanks, . I will ask them to check tomorrow. They tore down outside walls around a good portion of the house and found mold on plywood where the carport was .. unbelivably... angled to pool water up to the house.. they took out about half the house from ground level to about 5 feet.. i hope this means all is ok. my father improved when they went to a hotel and now believes me that the mold was an issue at 18,000 spores per cu meter.... i just leaned they also had sewer gas coming up in the tub as well. any additional info on fake stucco will be appreciated. the house is jsut a few years old. robin > > > > my parents house is made of fake stucco. do you all know if this stuff is still a problem for mold growth? > > > > thanks.. > > > > robin > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Robin, By " fake stucco " do you mean synthetic stucco? Drywit is one of the brand names. When was the house built?

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hopefully it will have the newer drainage plane installed so the moisture can escape.
