FUND 4 - The Impact of Moisture on Buildings

Wednesday, April 09, 2008  ·  8:30 AM - 10:10 AM

The windows sweat, the pipes sweat, and the air conditioning ducts sweat. The gasket on the refrigerator is getting moldy. The north side of the roof sheathing is covered with mold. Frogs live in the crawl space; a river runs through the basement when it rains. The vinyl tile is lifting off the floor slab and the paint is coming off the siding. Are these problems? Can I fix them? Can I make them worse?
