Galvanic Corrosion on Building Facades Can Cause Mold, Water Intrusion if Not Addressed Early

St. Louis, MO – Galvanic corrosion is typically caused when two dissimilar metals are improperly coupled together in a corrosive environment. This common problem is seen in almost every structure, including commercial roofing and facades. Galvanic corrosion is caused by an electrochemical reaction between different classifications of metals rubbing against each other in wet or grimy conditions. This type of […] The post Galvanic Corrosion on Building Facades Can Cause Mold, Water Intrusion if Not Addressed Early appeared first on Civil + Structural Engineer magazine.
