Basement condensation : field study of new homes in Winnipeg : summary report / by Unies Ltd.: NH18-1/390-1987E-PDF
“The Manitoba Homebuilders' Association and the New Home Warranty Program of Manitoba Inc. have reported many instances of homeowners experiencing basement condensation problems in new homes. Floor coverings, furnishings, wall finishes, and other possessions can be damaged by the excessive moisture, but there is a divergence of opinion on causes and solutions. A field investigation of Winnipeg houses was carried out during the May to September period of 1987 with the following three objectives: determine the causes of excessive basement condensation in new homes; recommend appropriate remedial action; suggest construction practices which would avoid or reduce such problems"--Description of the project, p. 1.
