EIFS (Exterior Insulation & Finish System) is an energy efficient cladding product with great design versatility. These are wonderful and long-lasting systems that, with proper installation and minimal maintenance, perform very well in all weather shedding aspects. In the past, these systems have gained a reputation for allowing moisture, damage & mold growth into the walls of the homes using this type of cladding. However, the problems are usually due to improper installation of the EIFS components and faulty workmanship. A Quali-Tech inspection reveals points of entry and areas of moisture / weather intrusion into the system, areas of possible substrate & framing damage, and the need for modifications & repairs. Quali-Tech performs EIFS & Stucco inspections in CT, MA, RI, VT, NH, NY & Long Island.
