 Exterior insulation and finish system is a general class of non-load bearing building cladding systems that provides exterior walls with an insulated, water-resistant, finished surface in an integrated composite material system.  A major benefit of EIFS is the option to add architectural details that are composed of the same materials. EIFS offers excellent breathability to structures when complemented by an appropriate choice of finish. 

 Stucco or render is a construction material made of aggregates, a binder, and water. Stucco is applied wet and hardens to a very dense solid. It is used as a decorative coating for walls and ceilings, external building siding, and as a sculptural and artistic material in architecture. Stucco is energy efficient, fire resistant, low maintenance, rot resistant, sound dampening and adds great curb appeal to your home's exterior.  

 Water damage for stucco siding is highly problematic, and, if left untreated, holds potential for mold. Water damage can also result in cracks around windows and doors. Crumbling stucco and soft spots or indentations can be indications of very serious water damage. 

 Stucco damage can be very serious and should not be ignored. It can lead to damage to walls and therefore weaken the structural integrity of a home or building. If you’re dealing with any damage contact RCC to inspect your situation.

A common problem with barrier EIFS cladding can stem from water intrusion. These problems include moisture accumulation in the wall cavity, subsequent wood damage and, in more advanced cases, mold growth and the infestation of pests such as carpenter ants or termites.
