Findings

Date of Assessment: January 30, 2020

A plumbing leak impacting casework occurred on January 29, 2020. The leak was corrected by Building Services (Plumbing) on the same day (Work Order #147549).

The ponded water was extracted from the floor, however wooden casework was impacted by the leak.

Holes were drilled into the casework to facilitate drying and fans were placed in the impacted area to assist in drying the casework.

The Office of the Environment visited the site on January 30, 2020 and confirmed the casework was dry using a moisture meter (wood setting).

No further action is required. The response actions noted above are intended to prevent microbiological growth.
