- inspection of ventilation system (operation of variable air volume box and outdoor air dampers, check controls, measurements of carbon dioxide, temperature and relative humidity, sources near outdoor air intake, measure return and supply air volume, cleanliness of coils, liner and condensate pan)
- inspection of exterior
- inspection below drop ceiling (housekeeping, sink and floor drain traps, signs of past and present moisture concern via visual and/or moisture meter, mold growth, ensure connection of current and capping of abandoned sanitary vents, odorizers, excessive plants and fabric items, identify potential pathways, and measure volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, and lighting)
Date(s) of Assessment: September 9, 10, and 11, 2019.
The source of the incident was a toilet leak (clean water) within the staff restroom located outside of, but attached to the administrative office area.
The water migrated into the principal's office. Twelve carpet squares and eight linear feet of drywall were impacted as determined by the Office of Environment via observation and moisture detection equipment.
The Office of Environment monitored materials until they were dry.
The carpet squares were removed so concrete and carpet could dry.
The impacted drywall and fiberglass insulation was removed from the Principal' Office.
Air blowers were placed to dry the backside of the exposed restroom walls (behind the drywall that was removed from the Principal's Office).
After drying was complete, Building Services repaired the wall and installed carpet squares.
