Abstract
Moisture problems within the building shell can be caused by a number of factors including excess interior moisture which is transported into the wall through air leakage and vapor drive, bulk water intrusion from leaks and wind driven rain, capillary action from concrete to wood connections and through wetted building materials such as siding wetted from rain splash back. With the increasing thickness of walls, moisture issues could increase.
