The vast majority of construction defect litigation is over failures of water management. As we construct lower and lower energy buildings, we’re reducing their physical ability to withstand a little “whoopsy” with your water barriers. We’ll go through the fundamentals and the physics in presentation format, then share hands-on demonstrations of old and new methods that really work. You’re guaranteed to learn something that can be applied to your projects immediately.
