Third Party EIFS inspectors.


They are not all bad. Some inspection companies are actually very good. The best in fact, in my estimation have a complete or at least a good understanding of construction standards. Having said that, I don't think that just because an inspector has a card/badge taped to his chest, stating that the bearer of that card has the knowledge to determine what is going on with your home is the best way to pick an inspector. After all, with five hundred dollars and the completion of an eight hour course you too can be a certified EIFS inspector.

As a matter of fact, you could probably train a primate to press the little green button and do back flips when the handy dandy moisture scanner starts beeping and blinking.
