| All the blue arrows point to potential
moisture problems. Let's start at the bottom of the stairs. This picture
was taken just a few hours after it rained. You can see the moisture
around the bottom of the stair stringers. The wood stringers shouldn't
be in direct contact with concrete. The next arrow up points to a large
crack in the stair tread.
This crack will absorb a lot of water into the
tread and can be fixed with a good paintable caulking. The next arrow up
points to the edge of the stair tread up against the stringer. This is a
bad spot if the pocket routered into the stinger is to big or if the
tread as it dried out started to shrink, causing a gap.
The next spot
is Stairs Next To
Stucco Problem .
The top of the stairs is a problem only if the wood touches the wood
or the stucco.
