EIFS Maintenance Program -3,000 sq ft

It is important that homeowners understand that most homes experience some type of moisture damage. The majority of this damage goes undetected. Moisture causes billions of dollars in hidden damage to all types of residential homes in the United States each year. Also, moisture causes substantially more damage each year than termites,
ants, and other pests.

By properly modifying and maintaining an EIFS or stucco home, the odds of experiencing any substantial damage associated with moisture are dramatically reduced. Normal maintenance is all that should be required on the home following proper remediation.

The vast majority of moisture problems associated with all types of homes is directly
associated with: poor building standards and practices; more complex building envelopes built by generally less skilled labor; leaking windows and doors; and inappropriate use and application of the cladding system.

After extensive research into the issues of moisture in EIFS/stucco homes, it has been
our experience that the vast majority of EIFS homes (85% to 90%) can be successfully remediated at a reasonable cost. The majority of the balance of these homes can be repaired and remediated, and do not require the removal of the cladding system.
