Moisture is the key cause of majority of the building construction problems that we commonly face, other than structural errors. In order to avoid technical problems related with water, a good knowledge about the various sources of moisture is necessary. Practitioners should also be well informed about the various moisture transport mechanisms and failure modes in order to create a building without functional failures. Why this becomes most important during construction process is the fact that most of the construction materials, components or systems are vulnerable to some form of moisture attack. Moisture, in whichever form it be, whether in vapor, liquid or solid, can cause big damage to buildings. And the fact remains that most buildings are open to various sources of moisture in any of the form.
In order to locate building problems associated with moisture, and treat them effectively before getting things worse, there are modern equipments like thermal imaging cameras used by building inspection experts in Sydney. These instruments could measure the amount of moisture present in various parts of buildings and thus foresee the possible damages and attacks of termites. In order to get the advice of a real estate business men could approach various expert teams who use modern equipments to give an authentic report of the property. These functional understandings of practitioners have served to locate the construction errors in major real estate locations in Sydney. A number of failure mechanisms through which moisture could cause great damage to buildings are cited by experts and they include dimensional changes, wood rot, corrosion, mold development, staining, efflorescence, loss of insulating capabilities and the like.
