Drainage is vital to home living, yet when it is not done correctly, it could lead to many problems. This section provides you with the in-depth information about certain problems such as odor, and how to deal with them along with tips and tricks to keeping your home leak free.

New construction has been more susceptible to large scale moisture problems. The 1970s focus on improving energy efficiency lead to more airtight construction, but it also meant a larger temperature drop across the thickness of the wall. In addition, increasingly complex home designs opened the door to the potential for moisture intrusion. Finally, a strong economy created a housing boom, which thinned the ranks of skilled carpenters. All of these factors have combined to put the building envelope at higher risk for the moisture conditions that support mold growth. Moisture problems are not a result of a wet exterior surface - that is what the exterior siding is for- or high humidity on the interior. Moisture problems occur when the water on the outside or humidity on the inside cause a wet condition within the wall, within the building envelope. Building envelopes that get wet and stay wet are vulnerable to mold. All credible sources on mold point to moisture control as the only viable method to prevent mold.

Design considerations

Any break in the surfaces of the building envelope can be a potential source for water, liquid or vapor to enter and get trapped within the envelope. Openings such as doors and windows are most often the entry point for water. Water can also enter via gravity, often through a leak in the roof deck. Water can also be introduced because of capillary action, which slowly but continuously draws water into the building envelope. Or, moisture can enter the home via water vapor transferred through walls and other surfaces. Air leaks transport water into the building envelope as moisture trapped within the air (humidity). If the warm, moist air comes in contact with a cold surface the moisture condenses on that surface. Air leaks that cause condensation within a building envelope, such as that caused by a single improperly sealed electrical outlet opening, can add about 110 times more water than from diffusion. The cumulative effect of all air leaks in a moderately tight home would be equivalent to leaving a door or window open permanently.
