Thank you. You may be interested in the free online course www.nachi.org/stucco-eifs.htm, which is very challenging because its training content is detailed and thorough. You'd like that course instead of the short "tips" video which is essentially a promo teaser for the course.
Siding to windows, doors, etc. These are critical junctions. Not addressed here. I guess I'll check out the lesson. Thanks, btw, for this video. It is helpful mostly for identification of "stucco-type" cladding systems. Think the video should be renamed. Ben, I'm a fan...just sayin'!!!!

How many different stucco systems does one house typically have? Was the smaller house you inspected an older house which has been renovated several times?
@@BenGromicko thanks for the response. I am about to buy a house with EFIS and there are no licensed EFIS inspectors. I am trying to determine how much I would have to spend to replace so I can put a concession amount proposal to the seller.
Should start training introduction from construction of EIFS or stucco components step by step. You can't just to this wall as example. It's easy to confuse the learner. There is no 3-D concepts to know inside components and layers during construction.

You should be more transparent, the course is free but after you sign up for the paid membership. I want to learn more about the system not to become an inspector but an educated homeowner. The fee isn't a huge a expense but we should not be lead to sign up for an account to find that a paid membership is required to watch the "free" course.
As a stucco worker , i got to learn lot of things from u
Thank you.
I'm glad I stumbled upon this, I'll probably make the stucco-EIFS class the first one I take once I get licensed
Nice. What state are you in? Is it a regulated state? Does the state regulate home inspectors?
How can an inspector tell if water damage has occurred in the walls?
We teach those visual inspection techniques in the online course at www.nachi.org/stucco-eifs.htm

Isn't it true that even newer "Drainage" style EIFS have been the subject of class action lawsuits for allowing moisture buildup?
Yes.
Battery drill in inconspicuous places makes a good inspection tool
Yes.

One. Yes.
How tough is it to repair EFIS failure? Are contractors responsible for poor installs?
You have to be trained to perform EIFS repairs.

That's right, Bigfootz.
12:07 ...."you definitely want to check out the vertical transitions between dissimilar materials".....O...K....? and?
... and the difficult training and certification program is at www.nachi.org/stucco-eifs.htm.
StuckoooOo! LOL
Oooh, yeah.
What is EIFS?
EIFS is explained at www.nachi.org/webinars/2016/consumers-guide-to-stucco-and-eifs-inspections

I understand. We should be more clear. It's online and free for members. So, it's kinda like Netflix. One fee, all you want to eat.
And internachi.edu/ is actually the only accredited tuition-free online college for home inspectors. Free for InterNACHI members. 😉
11:39...really? c'mon...is this just a teaser video or what?
Yes. It's a teaser video. It's titled "stucco and EIFS inspection tips."
EIFS is hot garbage.
Not sure about that.
