Effects of Weather on Your Home

Anytime moisture is allowed to penetrate into your homes interior, numerous problems can result. Weakening and warping of wooden support structures, disintegration of sheet rock, soggy, ineffective insulation and damage to plumbing and electrical circuits are just a few. Moisture can also lead to the growth of mold and mildew, causing serious health issues.

Allowing wind to penetrate your exterior envelope can magnify the effects of temperature, as well as create uncomfortable drafts throughout your home.

Clearly, creating a weatherproof barrier as you build, expand or re-roof your home is critical for a comfortable, healthy and energy efficient environment.
