When flooding or moisture gets into a home, no veneer (brick, stone, siding, stucco) can stay completely dry. Even a small amount of moisture that gets past it needs to be drained and dried or it can lead to dangerous mold and damage to building materials. A solution can be installing a continuous, vented rainscreen air gap behind the to prevent future moisture issues.
