THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS AND VARIOUS FINISHING ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS POURING CONCRETE, OR DRY WALL FINISHING, CAN GENERATE LARGE AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE. LEFT UNADDRESSED, THIS MOISTURE CAN MIGRATE INTO VARIOUS AREAS OF THE STRUCTURE, INCLUDING INTO THE ROOFING SYSTEM, LEAVING MATERIALS WET AND DETERIORATING
