Moisture Control
Moisture control refers to the systems and materials integrated into the building envelope to prevent the intrusion, accumulation, and damage caused by water and water vapor. It plays a critical role in preserving the structural integrity, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality of a building. Key components include flashing, drainage planes, waterproof membranes, vapor retarders, and moisture barriers. These elements work together to direct water away from critical building components and manage vapor diffusion through walls, roofs, and foundations.
