2. Epoxy moisture control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxy_moisture_control_system

   Epoxy moisture control systems are chemical barriers that are used to prevent moisture damage to flooring. Excessive moisture vapor emissions in concrete slabs can mean significant, expensive damage to a flooring installation. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent annually just in the United States to correct moisture-related problems in ...

3. Damp proofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_proofing

   Concrete normally allows moisture to pass through so a vertical vapor barrier is needed. Barriers may be a coating or membrane applied to the exterior of the concrete. The coating may be asphalt, asphalt emulsion, a thinned asphalt called cutback asphalt, or an elastomer. [9] Membranes are rubberized asphalt or EPDM rubber. Rubberized products ...

4. Category:Moisture protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Moisture_protection

   Moisture protection is a barrier, made from plastics, resins and bituminous products, to prevent the travel of water; typically used on a roof, beneath a cement slab or sidewalk, along a foundation wall, or lining a bathroom floor.

5. Vapor barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_barrier

   A vapor barrier on the warm side of the envelope must be combined with a venting path on the cold side of the insulation. This is because no vapor barrier is perfect, and because water may get into the structure, typically from rain. In general, the better the vapor barrier and the drier the conditions, the less venting is required. [7]

6. Waterproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproofing

   Walls also have vapor barriers or air barriers. Damp proofing is another aspect of waterproofing. Masonry walls are built with a damp-proof course to prevent rising damp , and the concrete in foundations needs to be damp-proofed or waterproofed with a liquid coating, basement waterproofing membrane (even under the concrete slab floor where ...

7. Damp (structural) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_(structural)

   The dampness results in vaporization where water vapor is transmitted into the building's interiors. Water vapor may enter the building through supply air ducts in building slabs and circulated by warm forced air. Water vapor can also enter a building through leaky return air ducts in homes with crawlspaces. [4]: 185–187
