Wear and tear and deterioration in homes are caused by expansion and contraction of surfaces, and condensation of moisture. A firm structure can prevent surface movements, which lead to hair-line and visible cracks.
Moisture can infiltrate a home in several ways; in the air, through walls and roofs, and up through the ground into floors and walls. Mitigating moisture damage can involve waterproofing walls and basements and placing water stoppers in walls. By using high-grade insulation and ventilation systems, a more stable level of moisture in a home can be achieved. Low levels of moisture in a home reduces mould, rot, termites and other insects that need moisture to lay eggs. Controlled moisture in a house will increase the life span of furniture, kitchenware, bathrooms, and any other part of the house that is affected by moisture. Preventing moisture damage can extend the life expectancy of a house from 25 to over 80 years.
