Re: Rust in stucco
Scott,

When you mention the "old barrier system", I wonder how often you come across the "new water managed" or "drainable" systems. I know that you are familier with EIFS and wonder what you come across where you are. I do more EIFS inspections than standard home inspections, and I'm sorry to say that I've yet to see a drainable system installed on a residential property.

It amazes me that after all the problems that have been associated with barrier systems, and even with some of the banks refusing financing on homes with barrier systems... years after drainable systems have been introduced, I still don't see them.
