Project Spotlight - St. Timothy's School
CAUSE
A blown pressure valve in the utility room caused water to leak
onto the gym floor at St. Timothy's School in Stevenson,
Maryland. The water sat for a few weeks before the insurance
company called upon ACCORD Restoration.
DAMAGE DESCRIPTION
ACCORD Restoration responded to the claim as soon as the call
came in to assess the damage.
From the time the water leak occurred to when ACCORD Restoration
was called in to restore the damage, two serious problems
had occurred, the
gym floor had become warped and cracked and mold had built up around a
quarter of
the floor area.
ACTION
The first thing on the agenda was to contain
the mold. For this, a containment area had to be built and an
industrial hygienist was brought in to evaluate the mold
build-up. The hygienist gave ACCORD Restoration the protocol
needed to properly remove the mold and get the entire area
cleaned, sterilized and ready for use.
Once the contaminated floor area was properly cleaned, ACCORD
Restoration was able to verify that the mold was completely
gone and moved on to the next step of drying the floor with professional
dry-out systems. ACCORD Restoration completely removed and replaced
the
gym floor that was in the mold containment area and as a
finishing touch, the entire gym floor was sanded, re-finished
and re-lined. Throughout the entire restoration process, ACCORD
Restoration had coordinated all aspects of the job, including
laborers, sub-contractors, hygienists and insurance adjusters.
ACCORD'S IMPACT ON CLAIM
With this project, ACCORD Restoration mitigated significant additional
"loss of use" time and
additional cost of repairs. The isolation and
containment of the mold allowed for continued occupancy and
safety and a
significant portion of the basketball court was saved from replacement due
to the speed of mitigation and strategic drying of the floating floor
system.
