School Mold Removal

School Mold Removal : Remediation Case Study

Situation

We attended a mediation where eight contractors were being sued for negligent work on a school less than three years old. One of these contractors hired us to present a reasonable solution to mitigate the damage. The Fresh Air Group was able to help define a protocol to remedy the problem for one third the cost that was being sought. The process was presented to all parties in and including the plaintiffs; the school board; and a settlement was reached with us providing the work.

Analysis

The 10,000 square foot building consisted of eight modular units. These units were placed directly on the ground trapping moist air under the units. This along with poor drainage and runoff from the building provided excess moisture in and around the indoor environment. The modular units were not completely sealed at the maitlines and vapor was settling in-between walls connecting the units. There was also a problem with the roofing system since new, a new roof was installed over the old roof within one year’s time. At time of inspection the roofing substrate was spongy in multiple areas and the interior still had leaks that would change in areas from time to time.

Solution

• Provide a workable roofing system with an insulation board to stop
the thermo-bridging that was taking place
• Replace the roof drains with commercial scuppers and down spouts
• Remove package HVAC units; replace 4” curbs with 12” curbs; reset
HVAC units
• Dig trench around perimeter of building below crawl space, seal crawl
space with a breathable mesh and install round rock and planters
in new beds. (This allowed proper air flow under structure without
allowing rock to fall under building)
• Remove any mold ladened material or manage material in place
• Seal all penetrations on maitlines between modular units
• Restore all materials as designed or better

Testimonial

“We met at mediation; a contractor we were suing brought them to the
meeting - along with another company. [They] gave a very persuasive
argument of what needed to be done – [they were] very sincere…
Communication overall and the level of service – it was a good working
relationship…They didn’t scrimp on our project even when it costs them more
– if it weren’t for them, we would be in a terrible situation. We are very
pleased with the results.”
