Effective moisture control depends on how exterior wall and foundation assemblies redirect water and maintain continuity at critical transitions. Drainage cavities, flashing, and weeps must work together to move water out of the assembly and support long-term enclosure performance.

The free Spectacular CE course, Moisture Control Basics, introduces architects to the fundamentals of moisture control at cavity walls and foundation conditions.
Learners will review how drainage cavities, flashing, and weeps work together to redirect water out of exterior wall assemblies. The course also explains why continuity at the base of wall and foundation transitions is critical to long-term enclosure performance.
The course examines common detailing and specification mistakes that can trap water, accelerate deterioration, and contribute to indoor environmental problems.
Participants will leave with practical strategies for making better wall and foundation moisture-control decisions in design and documentation.
