Home Inspector Lingo

Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) is a type of synthetic stucco used in home construction that consists of multiple layers, including foam insulation, a base coat, and a finishing coat. EIFS is designed to improve energy efficiency by providing an additional layer of insulation, while also offering a durable, weather-resistant exterior. It’s often used in both residential and commercial buildings for its ability to enhance thermal performance and create a smooth, decorative finish. However, EIFS requires proper installation and maintenance to prevent moisture infiltration, which can lead to damage or mold growth.
