New Paper Published by SPRI on Managing Construction-Generated Moisture
SPRI, Inc., the trade association representing the manufacturers of single-ply roofing systems and related component materials, has posted a new document that addresses construction-generated moisture and its impact on commercial roofing systems.
Construction-generated moisture comes from a wide variety of activities including pouring concrete, burning propane heaters, painting, plastering, and drywall finishing. These activities and others can contribute to excessive levels of relative humidity inside the structure when proper remediation measures are not taken. The result can be the accumulation of condensation within the roofing assembly and within the structure when the temperature is at or below the dew point.
