I am not interested in a recirculating system will.
Water wicking up siding.
We put out a weekday news broadcast and other survival and preparedness information.
The reason it should not be over the ice and water shield roofwrap is any water running down that barrier under the roofing due to a leak or blow in would then run down the bottom of the dripedge and end up wicking into under the roof sheathing just like if there was no dripedge there at all.
Is the floor around the tank wet.
I m thinking that the water tank condensation is the problem or a leaking water tank.
Protecting a house against water intrusion starts with creating a barrier such as siding that moves water away from the structure.
So you can probably rule out the wicking scenario.
The top t 111 panel should be installed about 1 4 inch off the shelf formed by the flashing to prevent moisture from wicking up into the wood.
It wicks up from beneath trickles in from above and blows in through the seams between siding pieces.
Moisture penetrates even the most carefully installed and sealed exterior siding in several ways.
However i am a bit skeptical about the effectiveness of using wicking action to move water up to the top of an aquaponic system.
Wood s end grain can wick water the same way up down or sideways.
Since water runs downward unless it s being driven by strong winds the standard method for creating water resistant vinyl cladding is to start at the bottom and work up.
Capillary forces can then draw the bead of water up and behind the siding thus wetting the back side of the siding.
I live on a lot with high water table and a lot of shade.
I don t think moving water back up to the top of an aquaponic system is possible with wicking.
A common example is a bubble of water climbing up the inside of a thin straw.

Between water infiltration in the siding seam is.
Obviously such forms of capillarity can be hard to observe until serious damage has already occurred.
Each successive siding.
Rain water striking the side of the house will run down the siding to the edge.
