Task 1 Decay Protection Essay:
Failing to identify a moisture protection intrusion during a pre-drywall inspection or during any phase of construction in a residential building can lead to potential wood decay fungi or even a structural failure. Over time moisture in wood framing members can lead to wood-decaying compromising the wood framing structural characteristics. Further, moisture in wood can lead to health problems from mold or mild dew growth.
