MOISTURE The phenomenon of moisture penetration or formation on the surface or the body of a structural component of a building or home is very common for most of structures and most of the damages are attributed to that. The existence of moisture can be related to many factors: • Cracks or even networks of hairline cracks, • Water or sewage piping failure, • The location of the building element (basements or rooftops/attics), • The creation of damage to existing waterproofing or sealing coats/membranes of structural elements (treatment), • Lack of adequate sealing and waterproofing of the building surfaces and adjacent building elements (prevention). • The phenomenon of water vapor condensation on the surfaces of structural elements (e.g., due to the insufficient thermal insulation of the building or high-water vapor content of certain spaces). In this section, we present a series of photographs of visible problems due to moisture penetration so we can help all who are experiencing a similar problem in their home. In this way, anyone can communicate the problem to a specialist or to a specific store and be guided to the appropriate solution for the treatment of the moisture and restoration. photograph section - common problems Solution 5.3 (p. 133) Solution 6.9 (p. 140) Solution 1.8 (p. 114) Solution 5.3 (p. 133) Solution 5.5 (p. 134) Solution 3.4 (p. 123) Solution 4.5 (p. 128) Solution 6.9 (p. 140) Repair & Renovation Guide 19
