EIFS Inspections
EIFS (Exterior Insulation Finish Systems) is a multi layer exterior finishing product that gives the appearance of traditional stucco while offering additional insulation value.
The layers of EIFS consist of:
- Foam Insulation Board – Typically secured to the exterior wall surface
- Cement Base Coat – Applied to the insulation board
- Textured Finish Coat – Applied to the base coat
With any EIFS system, proper installation and maintenance is critical to avoid moisture penetration and damage to the underlying systems. It is highly recommended that EIFS be inspected prior to the purchase of the home, and on a routine basis thereafter.
Our qualified inspectors will be able to determine if your EIFS is performing adequately and recommend any corrective actions that may be necessary.
The VIRTUS Group can help you with:
- Purchasing a home with EIFS
- Routine maintenance of your EIFS
