I've got a mess on my hands & I'm having trouble finding anyone to even come look at this. I have stucco on the exterior walls of my basement. Water has gotten behind it on two of the corners and it is falling apart, revealing OSB:kaioken: behind it. I'm in need of repairs & don't even know where to start. The house is only 11yrs old.
 
Sounds like a wood frame, not a parge coat on concrete block? Can you see any type of mesh (welded wire) or lath behind it? Photos?

My first thought is to find a General Contractor or mason who is local to you and can either help or recommend someone. If you want to investigate it more yourself... you're going to have to get all the loose material out of the cracks to be able to patch it. :beer:
 
I've been trying for 2 days to get someone to come look at it. Finally got a reply from the guy I wanted to look at it and he's coming thursday. I can see some mesh on one part of it. There is two different sufaces that meet and that is is where the problem is coming from. The corner that is covered by the deck/porch has the OSB, the other is plywood as seen in the pics. The corner with the worse damage is under the decking and still sees moisture. Being that I know nothing about this stuff I'm going to leave it to a pro to tackle. I'm plenty busy with other stuff around here.

Is this really Cydney?
 
Yeah girls can't know anything about construction, Duh!

Cyd why aren't you barefoot in the kitchen with Sarah on your hip.
 
It looks like an acrylic (dryvit/eifs type) stucco rather than a cementitious hard coat stucco.

Either way, it shouldn't be in contact with the ground.

This. And, yeah, my guess was that Josh has what's referred to in the industry as "boogers on plywood." :lol:

Kinda sorta technically its not, there is HD plastic sheeting between it and the ground everywhere it doesn't meet concrete? Mel is going to be here talking to the guy thats been at this type stuff for close to 30yrs, I hope she gets the right answers out of him. I'll get the 1st rough quote on my way to the beach tomorrow, where I'll proceed to drink away any memory of this cluster:lol:
 
AND it'll be Bomb Resistant !!
