The most obvious source of moisture problems is the penetration of liquid into the wall cavity. This can happen in many ways, including windblown rain, drifting snow, splash-back from roof dripping, plumbing leaks, floods, and breaches of the wall’s protective layers such as leaky roofs and window sills.

These problems are real and important considerations in any kind of building, and our chapters on bale wall design, construction, and finishing place these concerns at the forefront in every regard. Liquid breaches in the walls are preventable, and back-up protection can be included to provide a further safety margin.
