Fuktskador i ytterväggar på grund av vattenintrång
Moisture damage in buildings is a serious issue that leads to problematic consequences and high economic costs. Despite the knowledge and awareness existing about moisture problems, extensive damager still occurs today. Studies of moisture in the exterior wall constructions shows that the issue if often caused by rain and water intrusion. These kinds of problem result in major costs usually because the companies have to replace the material and structural components and also in some cases tear down large parts of the buildings.The work includes moisture theory and descriptions of four different exterior wall constructions, wood stud wall with plastered facade, exterior wall with wood facade, exterior wall with concrete, and exterior wall with brick facade. Our thesis work describes how the constructions are affected and moisture damage due to water intrusion. In this thesis, we are trying to concentrate on how water enters the structure, defects of the constructions, moisture damage, risk zones in the buildings and active to prevent moisture problems.The work also includes mail interviews with people from different companies, who have given us answer to our questions.
