EIFS Siding Issues
Water Will Always Win
Presented by Ed Massart
We all know that serious moistures issues can result in significant damage to the home if the exterior insulated finish system (EIFS) is not installed and maintained properly. You, as the professional home inspector, may be responsible for major repairs if you don't describe, disclose, or disclaim the issues properly. Especially if you are not EIFS certified, you should know the ins and outs of proper installation and what the common defects look like. You should know the proper way to recommend further investigation by an EIFS certified inspector. Our own Ed Massart is an expert EIFS inspector and will highlight issues with this siding technique. He will show us the most common defects found, where we can get detailed drawings, and most importantly; how to disclaim this material. He will tell you what it takes if you want to become certified.
