Uncontrolled moisture can cause significant damage to your home as well as your health, furniture, and finishes. Mold is not the issue but rather a symptom of the moisture problem that exists. There are many types of moisture issues in your home, not all of them are visible, but all are destructive. Some examples include:
- Bulk Water intrusion from grading that does not allow moisture to drain away from the home
- Failed or incorrect flashing details allowing infiltration of bulk moisture into the structure
- Humidity issues caused by ineffective building science strategies
- Condensation on cold surfaces
- Wet building materials being used during construction
