Why isn’t water damage from rain a big concern when new homes and buildings are under construction?
In: Engineering
While water is a problem in housing especially for wood there are two kinds of water. Water that can easily leave through evaporation and water that can’t leave. The second one is the cause of rot as it gets stuck in contact with wood for several years keeping an area damp. While a building is under construction its very easy to air out, you want to make sure before sealing everything in that it is dry again and everything will be ok. Obs and plywood can have problems with water but tend to be part of the sealing in process of building that happens when it’s dry.
