Finding: Northfield Elementary School: Kitchen Storage Area (FXXNES2024002C48)

Finding Type
Visible mold on surfaces due to elevated relative humidity/dew point
Remediation

A board approved restoration contractor cleaned/disinfected the impacted areas. The impacted area was then encapsulated. 

After the cleaning, a dehumidifier was placed in the space for the remainder of August and into September (when outdoor relative humidity decreased due to seasonal variation). No regrowth was observed after the cleaning. 

The Office of the Environment will work with Building Maintenance to have a portable dehumidifier installed during the Summers as a preventative measure.
