The Control of Moisture

 The Control of Moisture


The control of #moisture transfer through #foundations is needed to prevent damage to the interior finish material and #basement contents, and to protect the long-term integrity of the #building structure. The measures that are used to control moisture transfer through foundation walls are also intended to control indoor #humidity levels and contribute to the reduction of soil gas and #radon entry into #basements, thereby contributing to a healthy interior environment.
