Why every file opens the same way
The clinic method
A stucco repair priced from the street is a guess wearing a clipboard. The scan costs $310, happens the morning the ladder goes up, and routinely turns a five-figure tear-off into a four-figure repair — or, sometimes, the honest reverse. Either way the map is drawn before a single tool touches the wall, and the findings are yours to keep whoever you hire.

Scan, don’t guess
A non-destructive moisture scan of every elevation, the same morning, mapped grid by grid. Most “whole-gable failures” turn out to be a five-foot problem at a parapet — but nobody knows which until the wall is read.
The moisture map
Readings plotted onto an elevation drawing: wet, damp and dry, in writing, with the probable entry points circled. The map is the prescription — repairs are sized to it and nothing else.
Findings, in writing
A report you can hand an adjuster, a buyer or another contractor: photographs, readings, the diagnosis, and the repair options priced separately. Yours to keep whoever you hire — even if it is not us.
Priced to the map
The clinic’s rates
The scan comes off any repair that follows within ninety days. Everything below is sized to the moisture map, never to the whole elevation.

Scan
Every elevation read non-destructively, grid by grid, the same morning the ladder goes up.
Probe
Invasive probes only where the scan insists — small holes, sealed after, each one logged.
Prescribe
The moisture map and a written programme: what is wet, why, and the smallest repair that fixes the cause.
Repair
Three-coat patch, EIFS foam-out or mineral re-colour — sized to the map, matched to the wall.
Re-scan
The same grid, read again after the cure. Dry closes the file; damp reopens it at our cost.
The clinic sequence
Diagnosis to dry
Five steps, two of them scans — the one before anybody quotes, and the one that closes the file. The re-scan is why the clinic can warranty a mapped repair for ten years: it proves the wall dried, in writing, with the before and after in the same folder.
Two from the cabinet
Case files
Two from the clinic cabinet, chosen because each one changed what the owner was about to buy. The full cabinet — every map, every before-and-after scan — is at the clinic and open to anyone carrying a quote from somewhere else.
The clinic, in figures
Two contractors quoted us the whole south gable off a photograph. Isobar scanned it, probed exactly twice, and showed us a map where the water was actually getting in — a five-foot repair and a new flashing. The re-scan read dry, and the folder they left is the reason our buyer’s inspector waved the wall through.
Before the scan
The clinic’s answers
The four every booking call asks. Anything else, the clinic line at the bottom of the page answers between eight and six.
Why scan before quoting?
Because a stucco repair priced from the street is a guess wearing a clipboard. The scan costs $310 and routinely turns a five-figure tear-off into a four-figure repair — or, sometimes, the honest reverse. Either way you are buying information before you buy work.
What is a mineral re-colour?
A silicate finish that bonds chemically into the stucco instead of filming on top of it — vapour-open, UV-stable, and recoatable in fifteen years by choice rather than necessity. It is the right answer for a wall that is sound and only tired, which the map confirms before we propose it.
Is EIFS a bad system?
No — badly detailed EIFS is. Scanned, flashed and sealed properly it outperforms most walls in this climate. The clinic repairs it from the foam out, fixes the leaking detail in the same opening, and re-scans to prove the wall dried.
Do the probes leave marks?
Holes the diameter of a pencil, at the points the scan insists on, sealed with colour-matched sealant the same visit and logged on the map. Most owners cannot find them a month later — the scan is non-destructive everywhere else.

The findings are yours.
Photographs, readings, the diagnosis and the priced options — a folder built to be handed to an adjuster, a buyer or another contractor. The clinic would rather lose the job to its own paperwork than win one nobody understands.
