What Our Stucco & EIFS Inspections Include
Visual Evaluation, Moisture Readings and Intrusive inspections
Traditional and Synthetic Stucco inspections
Dream Plastering provides professional stucco and EIFS inspections for residential and commercial properties throughout Oregon, specializing in moisture intrusion detection, system evaluation, and risk assessment. Our inspections are performed by an experienced stucco and plaster contractor with hands-on knowledge of traditional stucco and EIFS assemblies.
We conduct a detailed visual inspection of stucco and EIFS systems, including cladding surfaces, flashings, sealants, penetrations, transitions, and termination points where failures most commonly occur. Professional moisture meters are used to identify elevated moisture levels, concealed water intrusion, and high-risk areas that may not yet show visible damage.
Inspection Methods
Non-Intrusive Stucco & EIFS Inspections
Non-intrusive inspections involve surface-level moisture readings taken at targeted locations without disturbing finished surfaces. This method is commonly used for:
- Real estate transactions
- Buyer and seller inspections
- Initial condition assessments
- Preventative maintenance evaluations
Non-intrusive testing helps identify areas of concern that may warrant further investigation.
Intrusive Stucco & EIFS Inspections (When Authorized)
When authorized in writing by the property owner or responsible party, we perform limited invasive probe testing through the stucco or EIFS system to evaluate moisture conditions within the wall assembly. This method provides confirmatory data regarding substrate conditions, water intrusion, and potential concealed damage.
Intrusive testing locations are minimized and selected based on observed risk factors and moisture readings.
Defect & Risk Identification
Pinpoint installation defects, failed sealants, flashing issues, and potential points of moisture entry—ideal for buyers, sellers, and realtors.
Photo-Documented Reporting & Repair Scopes
Receive clear, photo-supported reports with actionable recommendations and repair estimates to support negotiations and smooth closings.
