Frequently Asked Questions

Moisture refers to the presence of water in air, soil, and other materials, such as building materials. It is considered hazardous because it can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and poor indoor air quality, which can pose health risks to occupants. To mitigate these risks, it's essential to assess for moisture intrusion damage regularly and implement effective control measures.

Some of the common signs of moisture accumulation include visible microbial growth, water stains on walls or ceilings, musty odors, peeling paint or wallpaper, warped wood, and or increased humidity levels. These indicators often signal underlying water intrusion issues that may need prompt attention. Through moisture intrusion and building envelope forensic investigations, the source of the reported damage / issues can be accurately pinpointed, allowing for effective remediation strategies to mitigate further damage.

Yes, climate plays a significant role in moisture intrusion. High humidity, heavy rainfall, and extreme weather can contribute to moisture accumulation and intrusion in buildings. By conducting building envelope surveys and mold investigations, these climate-related vulnerabilities can be identified and addressed to mitigate moisture-related issues.

Moisture intrusion can lead to mold growth and the proliferation of allergens and pollutants, which negatively impact indoor air quality. This can cause respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems for occupants. To address these concerns, seeking the support of industrial hygienists, building envelope consulting, and mold investigation services can help identify and mitigate the sources of moisture, ensuring a healthier indoor environment.
