About this video:
Section 6.5.2 Exterior of the ComSOP requires inspectors to identify the type of siding on a building and inspect the siding, flashing and trim. This building was identified as having Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) siding, also known as synthetic stucco, by performing a knock test. EIFS typically feels hollow, flexes under pressure, and produces a distinctive hollow tone. In this video, we’ll identify and discuss some of the most common issues associated with EIFS. To learn more about inspecting commercial building siding and EIFS systems, take the self-paced Inspecting Commercial Building Exteriors Online Course and earn your certificate upon completion.
