The Problem of Moisture

Many of Chicago’s newer masonry buildings are experiencing an alarming number of significant moisture issues. Unfortunately, inexperienced tradesman, mercenary developers, poor oversight by municipal inspectors and uninformed architects are the primary cause. This has resulted in poorly performing wall profiles, accelerated wear or deterioration of components, loss of enjoyment of property, and expensive repair costs on behalf of homeowners and associations…often after the recent expiration of the builder/developer warranty.

Excess moisture can also come from many sources such as roof leaks, ice damming, improperly vented furnaces, water heaters or clothes dryers, or a simple leak in your refrigerator or washer supply hose. While some causes of moisture intrusion are obvious, others require a trained and experienced investigator such as Domicile Consulting.

In all cases, high humidity and liquid moisture leaks should be detected and controlled as soon as possible; moisture intrusion in your property can:

• cause serious structural problems to your building
• damage your personal property
• adversely impact your health and the health of your loved ones

Our experienced team, advanced technology, and comprehensive approach ensure a safe and dry environment for your home.
