Description: After a house in Harrison New Jersey having leaking windows, a stucco inspection was performed with moisture readings. Many of the readings came back high representing damage. The only way to fix this properly was to tear off all the stucco in order to reinstall a stucco drainage system and to pull all the windows in order to flash them properly with the drainage system of the stucco. |
