Water tight is critical to preventing structural decay

Keeping the exterior of a building water tight is critical to preventing structural decay. In wood frame buildings the maintenance of exterior wind sealants, roofing materials, flashing and masonry.will help prevent future decay. Exposure of wood to water over time can be detrimental. Wood swells when wet, and as a result can distort during drying. In addition to the distortion, the fasteners can be compromised as the wood contorts to different positions. High levels of moisture also cause increased rates of decay and increase susceptibility to fungal and insect attack.
