EIFS Liability and Insurance: A Changing Landscape for Contractors

​An article published by IRMI (International Risk Management Institute) suggests that Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) may not be as inherently risky as previously thought, advocating that insurers reconsider their broad exclusions against EIFS-related risks.
 
The organization argues that with proper installation and contractor training, EIFS can be a viable and insurable option in the construction industry. IRMI highlights the potential for underwriters to profitably insure EIFS by focusing on quality control and distinguishing between high- and low-risk contractors.
