Some would argue that the barrier EIFS is inherently flawed as it makes no allowance for even incidental moisture to escape from behind the EIFS cladding because the design professional and/or general contractor is relying primarily on sealants to keep moisture from intruding and in fact all sealants will eventually fail.

Barrier EIFS Inspections and Evaluations

There are two types of Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems which include Barrier and Water-Managed. Barrier EIFS applications were before the year 2000 and water-managed EIFS was introduced around 1996.

Cliff Kapson Consulting can inspect both types of Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems and make recommendations for repairs, when needed. We recommend annual inspections if your building is clad with a barrier EIFS.

In most cases water intrusion problems are not apparent from a visual inspection of the exterior. However, we have the methods and tools necessary to detect any problems or potential problems.

Our barrier EIFS inspections and evaluations are very reasonably priced compared to our competitors and have over 20 years of experience.
