Section 05 // Hidden Moisture
Where Water Hides
The visible water is rarely the whole problem. Building layers can hold moisture where normal evaporation cannot reach it.
Technical Advisory
Barriers can become traps.
Moisture barriers prevent trapped water from drying naturally. Water trapped in these places can start supporting mold growth in 24-48 hours. Drying is not complete until the hidden layers are measured, opened when needed, and stable.
