Abstract
As the roofing industry advances in product technology, building codes, and standards, the combination can create unforeseen consequences. One result has been moisture migration from different sources entering into the roof assembly, affecting long-term performance of the assembly and products. Since these conditions can be undetected for a time, it is important to review how the moisture moved into the roofing assembly, the unintentional results, and the details that were overlooked. Though it is important to understand the consequences, it is more important to make sure they are mitigated or corrected through the design process.
