When it comes to the exterior building envelope, keeping water out is of utmost importance. Water is a very powerful element, in that it will find the path of least resistance. It is so powerful that it carved Yosemite Valley over millions of years. Imagine the havoc that it can wreak upon a structure. It can cause mold, it can corrode steel, it can cause dry rot, and overall a great deal of damage. All of which can lead to potential lawsuits, vacated properties, and revenue loss. Keeping water and moisture out, is essential to keeping residents in place and businesses open.
