Using exterior insulation and finish system or stucco provides your building with insulation through its design. Before the harsh weather threatens your facility, it is critical to perform any EIFS repairs.

Inspect for EIFS Repairs

A technician should inspect your building to determine whether you require stucco repair. If you notice any cracks or crumbling, it could be a good time to call a professional. Other signs of damage include:

• Stains
• Moss
• Impact damage

Winter weather exacerbates the damage. Moisture seeps through the cracks, freezes and expands, creating structural issues. The water can also seep into the building, resulting in mold and mildew.

Protect Stucco from Damages

Stucco has been used since ancient times. It is weather-repellent and durable, but harsh weather can damage it without proper maintenance.

To protect stucco and EIFS systems from damage, professionals must install them. Proper EIFS and stucco installations prevent moisture and water from entering the system and wreaking havoc on the exterior and interior of your building. Severe water damage causes stucco to crumble and for indentations to form.
