The full picture

Open with the surprising data: EIFS and three-coat stucco have moisture intrusion rates 4x higher than vinyl or LP SmartSide siding in Anoka County. Map the affected inventory: 1990s-2000s premium-tier homes around TPC, Lochness Park, Lakes neighborhood, and lakefront Centerville. Explain the failure modes: missing kickout flashings at roof-wall intersections (the #1 cause), inadequate flashings at penetrations, inadequate clearance at grade, and grade-settling that buries the bottom course. Walk through the inspection process: visual inspection, probe testing where warranted (small-bore moisture meter), and thermal imaging from interior. Cover the cost of remediation ($5,000-$15,000 for spot repairs, $25,000-$60,000+ for full re-skin). Show three annotated photos from real Blaine moisture investigations. Close with a CTA for a stucco-specialty inspection.
