Hi,

I have a wetness problem in my basement, which you can see on this
pictu

I was wondering if the stucco that was plastered over the stone is
serving a wetness fighting function or am I better off removing it
(exposing the good looking stones) and repointing the granite?

(I'm aware of other wetness fighting methods like the dehum, french
drain, etc.)

Thanks,

Aaron
