Pencil poked into flimsy EIFS.
It didn't even break the point ! Who could take pride in putting this
stuff on the wall ? |

No rot, but Eifs removed and
stucco applyed. We found a garden spade is the best tool for tearing off EIFS. First the plastic cloth can be slit with the spade and peeled off like an orange. The foam is then easily scraped off. |

Birds like EIFS. Whenever you
see a round hole in EIFS, about an inch and a half in diameter, it
usually is a sparrow hole. Contrary to popular belief, these aren't
woodpeckers. This particular house had 22 birds nests in the dryvit before we tore it off. Please click here or on the picture for more. |

| Photo above shows the igloo
effect. Usually this indicates the studs have gotten wet and warped or
sagged. |
More igloo effect on this
chimney. |

Electrical panel falls off the
rotten sheathing on this recently built EIFS house and has to be supported with 2 by 4's and duct tape. |
