Re: Dryvit Over Block Problem
Is this a real Dryvit exterior(insulation and Dryvit stucco) system? If it is, apparently water got behind the Dryvit somewhere up above, drained down and is showing up on the portion backed up by the block.
Find the source of the water before guaranteeing any patching. If the above grade is wood frame, the owner could have a big problem, because the Dryvit system is not allowed over wood frame construction. Most of the sources are around windows. The water gets is and behind the insulation.

Re: Dryvit Over Block Problem
You have to stop the water 1st.
