feuchttunnelung

Feuchttunnelung, also known as moisture tunneling, is a phenomenon that occurs in buildings and structures, particularly in those with poor insulation or ventilation. It refers to the process by which moisture travels through a building's envelope, often along the path of least resistance, and accumulates in certain areas. This can lead to various issues, including mold growth, structural damage, and discomfort for occupants.

The primary cause of feuchttunnelung is the presence of moisture in the building's interior, which can originate from various sources such as leaks, high humidity levels, or inadequate ventilation. Once moisture is introduced, it can travel through the building's materials, including walls, floors, and ceilings, seeking out areas where it can accumulate. Common areas affected by feuchttunnelung include corners, joints, and areas with poor insulation.

To prevent feuchttunnelung, it is essential to maintain proper ventilation, use moisture-resistant materials, and ensure that the building's envelope is well-sealed. Regular inspections and maintenance can also help identify and address potential issues before they become significant problems. In cases where feuchttunnelung has already occurred, professional remediation may be necessary to remove accumulated moisture and prevent further damage.
