   In South Africa water cannot flow uphill. How does it manage to do that in the USA? Rising Damp? B.S.!

   Both the stucco and drywall have the ability to soak up, or “wick” up the moisture.

   You could ask the question politely.

   Jim, have you seen the same issue when the foliage is watered via drip irrigation instead of sprinklers?

   Theoretically the drip system should be satisfactory, but I don’t like it because if reminds me of the foreclosures! 🙂

   I see this is drywall, how about plaster with a stucco exterior? Same wicking occurs?
