• If It’s Not Raining Why Is My Roof Leaking? 1.0 CEU/HSW

    If It’s Not Raining, Why Is My Roof Leaking? Roof leaks and moisture within wall assemblies are never good for building performance. The typical response is to search for a rain-related leak—until it becomes clear that it isn’t raining at all. Without rainfall, bulk water entry should not be occurring, yet moisture continues to appear […]
