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.

St. Timothy's School Gym Floor Damage

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.
