What is Winter Break 2026?

---

This will be a two-day interactive workshop. The workshop covers “Building Envelope Moisture Surveys”. We will discuss conducting better surveys from the slab to the roof, including most systems in between. Attention will be given on understanding the “why, how, and what now” as part of your evaluation and recommendations.

Moisture Mob speakers are subject matter experts on roofing, concrete, flooring, indoor air quality, property restoration, mold, and moisture detection equipment.

Speakers for this event are globally recognized and are the “best in the business” in their respective disciplines.

About the Moisture Mob: 

The Moisture Mob is a small group of global subject matter experts who met at a Technical Symposium on Moisture Detection and Measurement in Dublin, Ireland. The symposium was hosted by Tramex, Ltd the global leader and innovator of high-quality precision moisture meters for the building envelope and construction materials. 

The group consists of SME from the restoration, flooring, roofing, and related fields hailing from the US, UK and the EU who attended this invitation only event. Members of this group have rallied around the mission of sharing their knowledge with others in a positive manner which creates more awareness around issues associated with moisture within the building envelope. It is the goal of this group to help others understand and detect moisture which will lead to healthier and better performing buildings.
