EIFS Repair

EIFS (Exterior Insulation Finish System) became very popular in North America in the 1970’s and serves as the exterior cladding system on many buildings across the US. EIFS is aesthetically pleasing and an economical cladding system, thus its popularity. However, it is one of the least durable cladding systems used in commercial construction. With its soft characteristics, it is prone to damage from impact by lawnmowers, vehicles, hail and objects thrown against it.

Repairing damaged EIFS requires more than simply covering the damaged areas with caulking or a filler purchased at the local hardware store. Proper long-term repair requires correct product selection and repair techniques.

Overland Park KS – Children’s Mercy

Children’s Mercy South had been dealing with active leaks through the original building, built in 1997, and the addition, built in 2004. Through investigation, MCR discovered that both buildings had faulty through wall flashings which was allowing significant leaks. MCR was hired to replace the through wall flashings; replace the exterior joint sealants; repair and waterproof the EIFS areas. The areas that have been completed thus far are leak free for the first time since the buildings were built.
