Moisture Management

Closing the Loop On Moisture Management


The simple truth is,
the risk cannot be engineered to zero.


These are the main factors that lead to building failure:

• Design - Errors & Omissions

• Construction - Not built to plans, substandard workmanship

• Materials - Quality control is not 100%

• Maintenance - Inadequately performed

• Nature

If any of the first four factors are compromised in any way, hidden water can start its damaging effects. And, even if the building was designed, built, and maintained perfectly, nature can still foil these efforts with wind-driven rain, high winds, continuous freeze-thaw cycles or seismic activity.
