EIFS & Stucco Inspection in Johns Creek, GA

Know before you budget

A report you can make decisions from

A stucco or EIFS facade can look sound from the parking lot while the sheathing behind a window or balcony is wet. Visual walk-throughs catch cracks and stains; they do not tell an owner, board or lender how far water has gone or what the repair will involve.

Our inspections focus on the places water gets in. We take moisture readings below windows and storefronts, beside doors, at roof-to-wall transitions, around balconies and at the base of the wall, and seal every probe point when we finish. Where readings are high, we water test the window, joint or flashing above to confirm the entry point instead of guessing.

The report maps each reading by elevation, includes photos, and sorts conditions into active water intrusion, items to monitor and cosmetic wear. For Johns Creek office buildings, retail centers and multifamily communities, that gives asset managers, condo boards and buyers a defensible basis for a budget, a reserve study or a negotiation, and it gives us a clear scope if you decide to move ahead with repairs.

Envelope inspections in Johns Creek

Every survey follows the same idea: test where water gets in, record what we find, and explain it in plain language.

Moisture probe surveys

Probe readings at high-risk locations across each elevation, recorded by location; each hole is sealed afterward.

Readings, not guesses

Water testing

Controlled water applied to a window, storefront, joint or flashing confirms whether that detail is the leak path before anything is opened.

Leak source confirmed

Due diligence surveys

Condition of the stucco or EIFS envelope documented for buyers and lenders before an acquisition or refinance closes.

Before you commit

Reserve study support

Condition findings by elevation that help condo and HOA boards and their reserve specialists plan envelope work over time.

Real numbers for boards

System identification

We confirm whether the wall is hard coat stucco, barrier EIFS or drainable EIFS, because that decides how it is repaired.

Know what you have

Pre-repair baselines

A documented baseline before a repair, recoat or sealant program is scoped, so the scope is built from evidence.

Scope from evidence

Which survey?

Choosing the right level of testing

Not every building needs the same depth. A visual survey can spot failed sealant, open parapet caps, missing flashing and cladding run below grade, but it can’t tell you whether the sheathing is wet. Probing answers that. Water testing goes one step further and proves which detail is letting water in.

For an acquisition, a refinance or a reserve study, a probe survey across representative areas of every elevation is usually the right level. If a tenant has reported a leak in one location, a focused survey of that area may be enough. We recommend the level that fits your decision and quote it in writing before we start.

Typical survey scopes
Survey	Best for	You get
Visual survey	Routine check, budgeting	Details to watch
Focused probing	One reported leak or stain	Extent of damage
Building-wide probing	Due diligence, reserves	Moisture map by elevation
Water testing	Leak with unclear source	Leak path confirmed

Our process

How an envelope survey works

We coordinate access, tenant notice and any lift or ladder work with you before the survey day.

Walk & identify

We walk every elevation, identify the stucco or EIFS system, and note sealant, flashing, parapets, penetrations and clearance at the base.

System identified
Risk areas marked
Visible defects photographed

Probe & test

Probe holes go in at the marked locations and readings are recorded. Where needed, we water test a detail to confirm the leak path.

Readings by location
Holes sealed afterward
Water tests where needed

Report & review

You get a written report with readings, photos and findings by elevation, and we review it with you, your board or your lender’s consultant.

Due diligence in Johns Creek

When Johns Creek properties change hands

Office, retail and multifamily properties in Johns Creek trade, refinance and come up for reserve planning regularly. An envelope survey belongs early in that process.

Many Johns Creek commercial buildings are now old enough that original sealant and flashing are near the end of their service life, and some older EIFS was installed as barrier systems with no drainage. Buyers and lenders want to know that before closing, and condo boards need it before setting assessments. We schedule inspections around closing timelines and coordinate access with property management.

Questions & answers

Envelope inspection questions in Johns Creek

What Johns Creek buyers, boards and owners ask about stucco and EIFS surveys.

Can you inspect a Johns Creek property on a tight closing timeline?

Usually. Tell us the closing or contingency date when you call, and we will schedule the survey and report around it. Access for lifts or upper elevations is the item that most often affects timing, so it helps to have property management involved early.

Our Johns Creek condo association is preparing a reserve study. Can you help?

Yes. We survey each building and report conditions by location and urgency, which gives your reserve study provider and board real envelope data instead of an allowance.

Does a moisture survey damage the facade?

Probe points are small holes in inconspicuous locations near the details we are testing. Each one is sealed when we finish, and the report notes where they are.

What is the difference between a visual inspection and a moisture survey?

A visual inspection records what can be seen on the surface. A moisture survey measures conditions inside the wall at the points where water typically enters, so it finds problems before they show.

Will the report include repair recommendations?

Yes. Each condition is described with a recommended repair, and if you want a price, we can turn the findings into a written, itemized repair scope.
