Marc Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Detail for older style of EIFS in that situation was a gap, backer rod and elastomeric sealant. Newer style has drainage plane and weep screed instead. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenT Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 There should be drainage at the bottom of the EIFS and a through wall flashing protecting the lintel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
