rjohns29 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I am a looking to buy my first home and found a house I like. However, it looks like there are some major issues with the stone on the house. For example, the grout is gone is some places and the stone has fallen out in some places. Is this a serious issue, or a simple fix? Thanks for your help. Click to Enlarge 63.98 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Is that fake stone adhered to a concrete foundation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjohns29 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yes it is. Also there is a problem with some erosion under the concrete at the front of the house. I will take a picture and post it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The faux stone is basically just stuck in place via a mortar bed. The grout is more decrotive than functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
