Newly bought home has stucco walls that is taken below grade.




I just recently bought a house with the new addition being with stucco walls. I did attach some actual pictures. Could you please guide me in what to do to prevent water damage? Someone told me to just pour concrete and seal the bottom up, but then with research I saw that it creates new problems as when stucco absorbs water it needs to drain at the bottom.
Thanks.
