Moisture

Moisture refers to the presence of water or humidity in the air, ground, or materials, impacting storm shelters, tornado safety, and overall structural integrity.

What is Moisture?

Moisture is the amount of water present in the atmosphere, soil, or structures. It plays a critical role in weather patterns, storm formation, and the durability of buildings, including storm shelters and safe rooms.

Excessive moisture can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and material degradation in storm shelters, making proper ventilation and waterproofing essential. Underground shelters, in particular, are susceptible to moisture accumulation due to groundwater levels and condensation.

During severe weather, high humidity and moisture levels contribute to storm development, increasing the likelihood of tornadoes and heavy rainfall. Proper moisture control in safe rooms ensures a dry, safe, and comfortable environment during emergencies.

Managing moisture levels through dehumidifiers, drainage systems, and sealing techniques can help maintain the longevity of storm shelters and protect against water-related damage.
