Hello,
I am new to this space. I found it after I found this brown liquid coming out of the stucco on under my covered entry and looking for possible causes. I believe I have seen others on this site call it a cola like color...which is accurate. I tried to clean it today using Dawn soap and water....using a firm scrub brush to no avail. This is stained...and continues to leak. I have a six year old home that I purchased a year ago. The house had its original color and there were no signs of previous staining. I will attempt to attach a photo or two to show you its location. What is located on the interior of this stain is a guest room, and a guest bath about 15-20 feet away. The home is located in Florida and it has been very humid, and rainy the last few weeks. I looked on the tile roof, and gutters, and did not see any obvious signs of a leak, I found some people on this site previously mentioned it could be poor venting into the attic from a bathroom? Sounds feasible. My question to you all is....what do you think should be my next step? Have the roof inspected, have someone check the attic to test for moisture levels?? I would appreciate your suggestions and this occurred within the last two days and looks VERY bad. I am nervous about any damage that may be occurring behind the stucco.
Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge.
Gregg
