Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine the cause of interior moisture damage at selected Florida hotel-motel sites generally identified by (1) peeling of the vinyl wall covering material; (2) high moisture content in the gypsum board, resulting in crumbling or material structural failure; (3) fungal growth with a red, yellow , or black stain; (4) paint delamination; (5) cold, clammy, uncomfortable rooms ; and/or (6) surface mildew on some interior furnishings.
