moisture intrusion
Moisture intrusion occurs when water or humidity enters a building through cracks, gaps, or openings in the structure. This can happen due to weather conditions like rain, snow, or high humidity, or through faulty seals and improperly maintained materials. When moisture gets inside, it can lead to issues such as mold growth, wood rot, corrosion, and structural damage, potentially compromising the building’s safety and durability. Proper sealing, drainage, and maintenance are essential to prevent moisture intrusion and protect the integrity of the structure.
