Sample Questions

Question 1
What is the most common moisture source causing mold growth on below-grade basement walls in residential construction?
Condensation from interior air only
Bulk water intrusion from inadequate exterior waterproofing, grading, and drainage
Plumbing condensation on supply lines in the wall cavity
Roof drainage routed through interior downspouts
Question 2
When inspecting a vented crawl space with a ground vapor barrier, the inspector finds elevated moisture on wood joists above the barrier. The most likely cause is:
The ground vapor barrier is too thick
Humid outdoor air entering through foundation vents and condensing on the cooler wood structure
The HVAC supply ductwork above is poorly insulated
Radon gas migrating through the barrier causing condensation
Question 3
The current best practice for moisture control in crawl spaces per Building Science Corporation and ENERGY STAR is:
Maximum cross ventilation with large foundation vents on all sides
Encapsulation with a continuous vapor barrier sealed to the foundation walls and controlled mechanical ventilation or conditioned air supply
Covering only 50% of the ground with a 6-mil poly sheet
Installing a sump pump and leaving the crawl space vented to outdoor air
Question 4
During a crawl space inspection, an inspector observes white fuzzy growth on the bottom of OSB subfloor panels. This is most likely which genus?
Stachybotrys chartarum
Serpula lacrymans (dry rot fungus)
Penicillium/Aspergillus or Trichoderma species growing on the wood composite binder
Cladosporium cladosporioides
Question 5
A properly functioning interior perimeter drain system (French drain) in a basement manages water intrusion by:
Preventing all water from entering the basement through the foundation wall
Collecting water that enters the basement at the footing level and routing it to a sump pump for removal
Applying hydrostatic pressure to seal foundation wall cracks
Ventilating the basement floor slab to reduce vapor transmission
