EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) cladding, cultured stone columnsLOCATION
Hillsboro, Oregon
SITUATION
The development corporation that owned this shopping mall requested an inspection from Western Architecture (WA) on the weather integrity of the mall’s facade.
Our firm conducted a series of inspections on the EIFS siding, gutters, and weather envelope system, and provided the development corporation with recommendations for obtaining a manufacturer’s warranty for replacement or repair of the EIFS cladding and stone.
SOLUTION
The owners used the recommendations from WA to litigate and obtain a complete replacement of the EIFS cladding and stone. The replacement materials including an EIFS drainage cladding system covered by warranty.
