Weep Screed Assessment
Answer 5 questions to find out if your stucco drainage system is at risk. Takes under 2 minutes.
1. Physical Damage Check
Look at the bottom edge of the metal. Is it bent upward, flattened, or smashed against the wall?
2. Corrosion Check
Do you see dark red/brown flaking rust ("scale rust") or holes eaten through the metal?
3. Separation Check
Can you slide a pen or your finger between the metal screed and the concrete foundation?
4. The "Buried" Check
Is the soil, grass, or concrete patio higher than the metal weep screed? (Is the metal buried?)
5. The "Paint" Check
Look closely at the tiny holes. Are they painted over, caulked shut, or clogged?
