The Real Facts About EIFS 

- Missouri EIFS Repairs -

The repair contractor called in to deal with EIFS problems on a Missouri hotel called the Guesthouse Inn faced outward signs of moisture problems, including delamination of large sections of the EIFS:

Figure 1: Compression Ripples

Figure 2: Delamination and cracking (Note: Nails have been used to "resecure" the EIFS)

Figure 3: Moisture intrusion at corners (Note: EIMA never talks about this)

So. How do you fix this mess?

Simple. Just cut off the dressing bands, cover those areas with felt and cover all the EIFS with aluminum siding...

But, you have to ask... Siding is nailed up. What about all the nail holes through the EIFS?

And isn't Missouri supposed to be the "Show Me" state?
