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.
