Due to deficient roof flashing,
water is intruding into the wall structure behind the siding--see
photo to right.
Decayed wood wall sheathing
and framing is visible through the rotted opening in the siding.
Crack within stucco where
an upper floor porch floor adjoins the wall. Staining apparent
around the bottom is indicative of water intruding behind the
stucco.

within this stucco which is much too thin (around 1/8-1/4 inch).
Stucco should be 7/8 inch thick on this wall.
Decay affecting trim around
a window. A typical issue.
Brick veneer is deficiently
attached to the wall. There is a separation of close to 1/4
inch.
The metal cap atop of chimney enclosure
should extend over the wood trim. The trim is deteriorating.
The lower approximately two inches of
this double pane window is filled with water. The seal between
the two sections of glass has failed.
