Expert Stucco and EIFS Certified Inspection
Over 90% of stucco applied
in the Northeast Region in the past 15-20 years has been found to be defective and sub standard. These properties did
not meet the minimum building codes and standards in effect at the time of application.
Whether the property is commercial or
residential, with hard coat or EIFS, the only way to identify all areas of concern is through a professional stucco inspection
by a building sience consultant. It is imperative that the consultant is going to identify if the application was code
compliant at the time of construction as this protects the property owner from future litigation.
Inspecting stucco and EIFS require specific
knowledge, skills, experience and certifications. An evaluation report of condition should NOT be based solely upon
a handful of test points, testing from the interior, infrared-thermal imaging, partical counter or non-invasive means.
It is most important to note that the person evaluating the property should not have any financial
interest or gain in the outcome of the evaluation, such as, performing repair work.
