      1. Choose materials with low permeability, such as concrete, masonry, steel and stone.
      2. Use treated lumber and composite materials, such as particle board, to reduce the effects of moisture.
      3. Select high-quality paints and sealants to protect surfaces exposed to water.
      4. Install flashing around windows and door frames to deflect water.
      5. Choose roofing and wall materials that have a high resistance to moisture, such as asphalt shingles, slate and cedar shakes.
      6. Install moisture barriers, such as vapor barriers and water-resistant membranes, in areas prone to moisture.
