Stairs Next To Stucco Problem
The stairs next to the
stucco creates a sponge like effect. The wood stair stringer is not
painted on the side you can't see therefore it touch's the
cement
stucco.
When the stucco gets moist from rain or high humidity the
wood will actually suck the moisture into the wood. This could attract
termites and lead to wood rot.
