Common Stucco Issues in Lake Forest
Lake Forest's inland position subjects homes to intense summer heat that causes rapid thermal cycling in stucco walls. The 1970s-80s neighborhoods around the lakes used early one-coat systems that are now systematically failing. The eastern hillside areas near Foothill Ranch are exposed to Santa Ana winds that funnel through Trabuco Canyon.

“We got in contact with the Stucco Champions company after it rained we had water get into our garage and had no idea why. They found the problem right away. The weep screed at the bottom of our exterior stucco wall was damaged and needed replacing. They did the full weep screed installation and fixed the stucco damage around it. The texture blending was great and the finish matches perfectly. No more leaks since the repair.”
