Construction Material Drying
Today,
many new structures are built with green lumber that is still high in moisture content.
Problems may occur during construction as a result of inclement weather, high
humidity, or other conditions resulting in vapor intrusion and condensation on
structural members.
Mold
problems may be found in structures that have never leaked because of these
types of problems occurring during construction. If high moisture levels are
detected, application of the ThermaPureHeat® process after framing and
sheathing can reduce moisture levels 6 -8%. If this process is complete prior
to construction of vapor barriers and erection of sheet rock walls, mold will
not colonize or amplify within the structure.
Additionally,
finish shrinkage will not occur to any great extent. ThermaPureHeat® is an
excellent preventive measure during the construction process.
