Repair a plumbing hole in a stucco wall

Repair a plumbing hole in a stucco wall.
Stucco in a hole caused by plumbing problems.

We show our work because we are honest, confident, and transparent. We have nothing to hide; we know what we are doing. If I had to say where we were schooled, it's closest to, say, the University of Morals, which means if it's not done right, you go back for free and do it again, but this time correctly.
Thus, all can depend on us for sound advice and workmanship.

For immediate bids, send pictures to Jay or myself at our sites below.

This video explains how to fix any plumbing hole in a stucco wall, where the plumbers had to install new plumbing pipes or fittings or make repairs.

Note: the plumber who did the repair did a fine job fixing the plumbing pipes but left guys like us a mess to put back together.
He should have broken from stud to stud and left the piece of wood he cut through.
Note that the methods for fixing a plumbing hole in a stucco wall are the same as those for fixing any other type of hole in a stucco wall.

We could have nailed the wood back in place, waterproofed the areas, added some stucco netting, and applied the stucco for this repair.
However, the plumber took the plywood with him, making our job more difficult, but nothing we couldn't handle.
If you folks are going to have plumbing repairs, it’s best to tell the plumber, repair the leak, and re-attach the wood where they found it; thus, if you stucco it back yourself, It would be much easier.

Eisenwall also manufactures a DIY or homeowner-friendly product called “Rapid set Stucco.”
It’s sold at HD and Lowe's plus all other hardware stores, “Rapid set stucco” is sold in 10 or 25-pound boxes or more significant amounts in 50 to 94-pound bags. This is a user-friendly product.
What that means is that the sand is already in the bags. You add water.

I can't even pay attention to this. All I hear is Matthew McConaughey. I just have this uncontrollable urge to buy a Lincoln.

I became an expert in the last 40 minutes of research on stucco repairs, thank you wise ol man!

[indomitusEvehementis]

your video just made me $500 a day doing some stucco patchings. thank u. God bless

[arkansasbellrock]

You’re like the Bob Ross of plastering. That was awesome, man!

[ramsaybolt]

I am a plumber and I learned after about a year that I made so many plaster guys lives harder, I never knew about the breakout and I always had my perfectly lined symmetrical stucco holes open for so many jobs. Now I have angry homeowners asking why I destroyed and put such an ugly janky hole in their home and I explain to them to trust me, its part of the process, itll help the guy that patches the stucco. I had the opportunity to learn how to do stucco at my first job and refused to learn it, while it wouldve been extremely useful to know, it was a trap. My boss would have stuck me only on stucco patches and taken me away from learning my trade, same with drywall and concrete. Now im at a company that would value that knowledge and respect me not to be the in house patch guy exclusively. Thank you for this video, its extremely helpful, gonna bust a hole in my home and try to patch it lol

Kirk is the Bob Ross of stucco...informative and entertaining!

[marcoaguiar]

This craftsman knows his trade. It’s inspirational when you see someone at work who’s a master craftsman. Having skills only is like knowledge and wisdom. Knowing and applying must be a universal marriage. You have the eye and the heart. Keep up the lifestyle.

KIrk, thanks to all your videos and instructions I was able to repair and re stucco, skim coat a complete 1200 sq ft. home . I have no experience in stucco, Im a welding contractor. The results were outstanding using the products you recommended. The customer was very happy. I then sprayed the home with a 123 primer and two coats of elastromeric paint. the place is bullet proof. Thanks for the education that you give your audience so freely . Good men a few and far between these days. god bless you and your family

“That’s the thing about those plumbing guys, they hack away and you gotta fix it”

[jerryrush]

I love these videos. I'm retired and on fixed income. These videos will help me save allot of money by allowing me to do it myself.

[GnarlsFarls]

[OoHola]

Guys like you are well appreciated on you tube. Thank you for your time sir.

[FernandoFerreira-kfkz]

Dude you are like Yoda of the Jedi of stucco.

This video helps me tremendously. I have a clean out the plumber needed to get to. They left me a repair that I am confident I can perform thanks to your video. It would have been great to see the entire process. I think I'm able to read between the lines to complete my project. I thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge via video. Consultation via zoom would be an additional revenue stream for those of us outside your range. Off to a big box store to purchase my material. Again I thank you.
