A method and system of moisture control for a cabin of an aircraft comprising an expandable sleeve receivable over a structural member. The expandable sleeve has a material with moisture absorbing properties and elastic properties. The expandable sleeve is configured to absorb moisture flowing down the structural member. The sleeve is easily installed by stretching the sleeve to its expanded state to fit over the structural member and returning the sleeve to its contracted state to fit snugly around the structural member such that moisture flowing down the structural member does not seep into the cabin of the aircraft. Moisture is wicked and/or absorbed into the sleeve, dries, and then the process repeats when needed. No use of heat is required.
