We are already aware of some water intrusion and damage on some parts of the facade


You know there is water intrusion you just don't know how much. It may be occurring at every window and door.

Spend the $500-800 on a real Stucco inspection that uses a Structural Resistance Tester - a tool specifically designed for EIFS and stucco systems. The SRT can test for rot in OSB sheathing, CDX Plywood, Gypsum Board, Dense Glass, and all wood trim. They will also use infrared technology and several other pinless moisture meters to pinpoint areas that are in need of intrusive testing.

The cost of the inspection is chump change compared to paying $50K plus down the road. They don't even allow the current EIFS stucco to be installed like was in the 90s.
