The Most Common Moisture Defects We Find
The moisture defects we most commonly find are EIFS intrusion, attic condensation, improper bath venting, sump and drain-tile failure, negative grading, window-perimeter intrusion, and efflorescence — many tied to lake-adjacent water tables.

Water proximity, high seasonal water tables, and tight or poorly vented homes drive these recurring moisture findings.
The Most Common Moisture Defects We Find.
Water proximity, high seasonal water tables, and tight or poorly vented homes drive these recurring moisture findings.
EIFS / Synthetic Stucco Moisture
Concealed EIFS moisture rots sheathing and framing silently and is one of the most expensive defects on upscale Minnetonka homes.
Attic Condensation & Mold
Attic condensation rots sheathing and creates indoor-air-quality concerns commonly missed on quick walkthroughs.
Improper Bath Venting
Improper bath venting is a leading hidden driver of attic mold and roof-deck rot in west-metro homes.
Sump Pump & Drain-Tile Failure
A failed sump on a lake-adjacent lot can flood a finished basement — a costly and avoidable surprise.
Negative Grading
Negative grading is the root cause of most basement water and is usually inexpensive to correct.
Water Intrusion Around Windows
Window-perimeter intrusion is a primary EIFS failure point and rots framing long before it shows indoors.
Efflorescence on Foundation
Efflorescence is a reliable indicator of past or ongoing moisture movement that warrants tracing the source.
Attic Frost & Sheathing Staining
Attic condensation rots sheathing and creates air-quality concerns commonly missed on quick walkthroughs.
