  • Moisture Protection for Structures

    Credits: 8 PDH

    PDH Course Description:

    This course covers the materials and procedures used, to prevent moisture-intrusion from damaging a building.

    Moisture protection for buildings includes many components. The most obvious are the roofing and exterior wall coverings. Openings in the walls are sealed by doors and windows. Flashing helps protect areas where surfaces come together, such as chimneys and roofs. Gutters and downspouts move water from the roof to underground drains. Insulation and ventilation work together to prevent moisture from building up and damaging the building.
