Moisture is a serious problem that can be caused by a number of factors. In this blog, we'll discuss the potential risks that moisture can bring to your home and how to prevent this from happening.
1. What is moisture and why is it important to the health of your home
2. How moisture gets into your home, what the risks are, and how you can prevent it from happening
infiltration by groundwater, lack or loss of hydrodynamic and static joints
humidity due to condensation, lack or insufficient thermal insulation
percolations from the roof, insufficient or bad waterproofing that allow rainwater to pass through
walls adjacent to roads may be subject to direct splash from cars
lateral infiltration of moisture against the ground
electrical outlets near leaks, electrical wires or old pipes that can carry moisture horizontally into the building floor plan
leaking or poorly insulated windows and doors that allow humid air to enter the home
hygroscopic moisture (the salts in the walls)
malfunctioning pumps or cesspools
humidity from lateral infiltration
malfunctioning heat pumps
faulty sanitary installations
dampness from construction defects and thermal bridges
leaking or poorly insulated pipes under pressure
residual moisture from construction work
defective or corroded drain pipes
moisture from internal sources such as laundries or the kitchen with insufficient ventilation
moisture from slopes or water tables
in newly built buildings the moisture present in the materials needs many months to drain away, if blocked by construction defects it could take many years
capillary rising damp
humidity from electrochemical and physical factors
moisture from chemical factors
missing or inadequate drainage
flooding which is, unfortunately, more and more frequent
undersized or leaking gutters and downspouts
lack of cleaning and maintenance of gutters, leaves, dirt, bird nests that block the drainage
