Interior

• Door Installation/Replacement
  EIFS primarily fails because there is NO moisture barrier protecting your wood when rain gets in. There is also never window and door membrane flashing behind the stucco. Although doors are often protected somewhat under overhangs windows usually aren't, especially on any 2 story home. When rain gets trapped behind the foam the water begins to mold or rot the wood underneath the building envelope. The excessive moisture here in the Portland metro area gets trapped between the foam backing and the wood sheathing it is attached to. Usually EIFS synthetic stucco is glued on or put on with grommet style fasteners. When rain penetrates ANY cracks or openings and gets behind the EIFS, it is unable to evaporate because of the constant moisture we get. The moisture attacks the wood sheathing, framing, and studs simply because it can't escape or drain out. This leads to dry rot and toxic mold problems because of the constant rain we have here in the Portland area. The dry rot and mold damage can often cost as much as the new siding to replace it because after it gets into the wood it starts to eat away at the studs & sheeting. The rotting wood underneath the EIFS ultimately leads to the destruction of the homes structure if left untreated.
• Framing
  Another common issue with EIFS in Portland is the failure to install proper flashing systems that can hold up with our rain. On 9 out of 10 EIFS homes that we deal with the existing flashing is improperly installed or missing altogether allowing large amounts of moisture infiltration causing dry rot and mold damage on the interior framing and wall surfaces.
