Stucco & EIFS System Inspections
Our specialized stucco and EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) inspection services help identify moisture intrusion issues in exterior cladding systems before they cause extensive structural damage.
Why Test Stucco & EIFS Systems?
- Detect hidden moisture intrusion before visible damage appears
- Prevent structural wood rot and expensive remediation
- Identify installation defects and compromised barriers
- Document issues for warranty claims or litigation
- Address potential mold growth within wall systems
