Building moisture

Building moisture refers to any excess water within a structure’s materials, such as walls, floors, or ceilings. It originates from sources like humidity, leaks, or inadequate ventilation. Excess moisture can lead to problems like mold growth, material deterioration, and reduced indoor air quality. Properly managing moisture involves controlling humidity levels, fixing leaks promptly, and ensuring good ventilation. Monitoring moisture levels helps prevent long-term damage and maintains a healthy, safe indoor environment. Understanding and controlling building moisture is essential for building longevity, occupant comfort, and overall health.
