In order to respond to the research objectives, the methodological choice was an exploratory and descriptive bibliographic review on the forms of pathological manifestation the buildings can present when affected by humidity. The research results show that the poor execution of the project and the lack of waterproofing in the structure are the main causes of structural pathologies.
