A dry surface does not always mean a dry structure. House of RAMERK traces moisture from its source and path of movement through accumulation and safe drying, preserving evidence before concealed layers are closed.
| Condition | What It Means | Typical Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Free Water | Rainwater or leakage passing through openings and defective junctions. | Rapid wetting, staining, deterioration, and corrosion. |
| Capillary Rise | Water is drawn through pores and narrow joints. | Rising damp and saturation of contact zones. |
| Air Transport | Moist air passes through gaps and cools within the structure. | Concealed condensation at discontinuities. |
| Vapour Diffusion | Water vapour moves through materials because of differences in partial pressure. | Seasonal moisture accumulation caused by an incorrect layer sequence. |
| Construction Moisture | Water remaining in concrete, render, screed, timber, or insulation. | Closing structures before they have dried safely. |
Differentiate external water, internal humidity, and residual construction moisture.
Inspect penetrations, joints, flashings, roof edges, foundations, and air-leakage paths.
Record the instrument, method, location, environmental conditions, date, and reference point.
Before closing, confirm drainage, ventilation, and vapour permeability.
Photograph concealed layers and retain measurements in the project passport.
REN-001 preserves a shared engineering language for future projects.
