WHEN WATER MOVES THROUGH BUILDINGS

When Water Moves Through Buildings is a practical, academically grounded guide to water leakage, moisture damage, emergency drying, sanitation, and mould prevention in residential buildings, with particular attention to Toronto apartments.

Written for both professionals and general readers, the book explains how water can travel through floors, walls, ceilings, plumbing systems, and concealed spaces—and why a small leak can sometimes affect multiple units.

Readers are introduced to source detection, water extraction, air movers and dehumidifiers, moisture measurement, cleaning and sanitation, mould prevention, material assessment, documentation, preventive maintenance, and relevant Toronto and Ontario regulatory considerations.

Clear and accessible, this book is designed for property owners, tenants, building managers, maintenance and restoration professionals, environmental practitioners, students, and anyone interested in safer, drier, and healthier buildings.
