LEGAL, EXPERT WITNESS, AND DISPUTE RESOLUTIONS SERVICES
Mr. Robert J. Mault, Principal, EIFS & Stucco Inspection & Forensic Services, provides inspections and testimony as an expert witness in Construction Defect litigation cases as well as arbitration hearings and construction dispute mediation services.
SEALANT/WATERPROOFING INSPECTIONS
Two of the more important components of an exterior wall envelope are the sealants and flashings. As part of legal and expert witness services, we will inspect the in-process installation, existing or designed flashing and sealant details to help protect the building from water infiltration. (Detailed information).
MOISTURE INSTRUSION ANALYSIS
With specialized equipment, moisture content can be located and analyzed within a typical EIFS structure. Locating moisture content in stucco is a bit more difficult and time-consuming, but it can be done. A written and photographic report documents the location and will attempt to identify the source of any moisture intrusion. (Detailed information).
PLAN REVIEW FOR EIFS AND STUCCO
We will review contract documents containing EIFS or stucco. The evaluation includes review of details and specifications with commentary. It is our role to offer opinion based upon experience, product knowledge and industry standards. However, it is the role of the architect to take that opinion and use it (or not) in the preparation of the contract documents. It is the architect that is ultimately responsible for the real world performance of the contract documents.
SCOPE OF WORK (REPAIRS)
We will produce a delineated repairs/remediation plan that will bring your facility back to life. We can work with your architect to produce a realistic approach to problems within a given budget.
