Finding: Howard High School: A107 (FXHOHS2020001EDD)

Building Services (Carpentry) removed the impact cabinets and replaced water damaged components. Work began on June 12 and was completed August 14.  As a definitive cause was not identified, the Carpentry Shop installed a plastic backing (instead of wood) to the cabinetry to protect the remaining wood components (wood being more prone to odors and mold growth when wet). Before placing the cabinetry back, the area was cleaned, and the wall was scraped, and repainted. After the drains had been cleared and prior to placing the cabinetry back, the area was checked by Building Maintenance after a significant rain event. No moisture was detected permeating through the wall. The area will be re-assessed for odor and moisture during the next scheduled IEQ Walkthrough.
