Office Building Stucco & EIFS in Smyrna

Smyrna office space leaks at the glass

Office space around Smyrna ranges from mid-rise buildings near the Cobb Galleria and Cumberland area to low-rise office parks off Windy Hill Road and small medical and professional buildings on the main roads. Many were clad in EIFS or stucco around ribbon windows, punched openings and storefront entries, and many still have the sealant that went in when they were built.

That sealant is usually where it starts. After years of Georgia heat and UV, perimeter joints harden and split, and water follows the window frame into the wall. Tenants report a stained ceiling tile or damp carpet, and the property manager calls a glazing contractor who may or may not look at the stucco.

We look at the whole detail. We take moisture readings around reported leaks, water test window perimeters, parapet caps and roof-to-wall transitions one at a time, and check penetrations for signs, lights and mechanical lines. Once the entry point is confirmed, the scope can be targeted sealant and flashing repair, a building-wide sealant program, or EIFS restoration and a recoat that helps the building compete for tenants.
