3 of the 4 photos indicate mold. If you look at the photo of the cove base, you will see the spots.

As to the comments about weather barrier and other EIFS related comments, you can get information at each manufacturer website. I am a certified eifs inspector in San Antonio.

2003 and IBC and 2006 IBC require inspections during the installation process. The building class and use dictate the type of system to use, but of course the drainage system is the best.(These are done by 3rd party, required under section 1704 of 2006, 1714 for 2003. All R1 through R4 must have a weather barrier and drainage system as part of the wall assembly.

Dryvit has several systems as well as the other major manufacturers. STO, Synergy, TEIFS, Parex.

The wrapping of the edges is called backwrapping. The backwrapping, cementious base coat, mesh and 2nd coat if less than 1/16 in, is what give the wall it fire resistance properties.

The only buildings that require a weather barrier, (when eifs is the cladding), either liquid or fabic is R1 to 4. This building is not a R 1 - 4, probably a type V, m. The eifs can be applied directy to the substrate with the adhesive. The eifs performs as the weather barrier. You can get information of this testing criteria at the ES reports website, division of the ICC. It will give you an idea of all thoe components that have been tested for the "system."

Better photos of the exterior with the window, doors and other fenestrations would give a better idea of the moisture penetration possibilities, which I would be glad to comment.
