Press Release Summary = Roof Consultants, Inc. (RCI) is performing inspections of homes and businesses with infrared thermography and it is more efficient and costs less than manual inspections
Press Release Body = Roof Consultants, Inc. (RCI) is now providing fast and efficient inspections of homes and business clad in EIFS, (Exterior Finish and Insulating System). By using the latest infrared imaging cameras RCI can provide homeowners with peace of mind in knowing their buildings do not have moisture trapped behind their EIFS exterior walls that has been the plague of the EIFS industry in recent years.
Even with the advent of drainage systems there are still problems associated with water trapped behind EIFS. This moisture, if not detected and stopped will cause mold growth, structural deterioration and damage to interior components of the building.
New drainage systems developed by manufacturers such as Dryvit, Sto, Senergy and USG have solved much of the problems associated with trapped moisture behind walls but the manufacturers cannot solve the problem of contractors not installing the components correctly. The contractors always have good intentions but sometimes their labor force doesn\'t do exactly what it needs to to install the system properly.
Al Kravitz, president of RCI had performed inspections on hundreds of homes, hotels and businesses clad in EIFS since becoming a Certified inspector in 2000. He is now a Level 1 Certified Thermographer and has been further educated in Building Envelope Applications by Snell Infrared, one of the World\'s largest infrared training companies.
Home and business owners should know that a simple, quick and low cost inspection can save them thousands of dollars in damage by detecting deficiencies behind the walls of their buildings. Infrared can see what the human eye can\'t and will detect moisture behind walls. The average cost of an inspection on a one story home is around $200.00. This is a small amount to pay for the peace of mind of knowing you do not have the same problems that hundreds of homeowners have been experiencing across the country.
