It is the siding that uses a foam board and specialty shapes followed by a plastic mesh and finally a coating that resembles stucco. It has a long history of trapping moisture in the walls and causing dryrot. If your buildings have EIFS, it should be inspected annually by a qualified EIFS inspection service using moisture scanning equipment. Finally, do an annual inspection of all siding, trim and decks to detect dryrot in its early stages. Since it spreads like cancer, the sooner you remove it, the less costly the correction.
Deterrent is always the best policy when it comes to dryrot.
