Belmont
Blvd. Nashville, TN - 09/30/2005
There
is a closet in a classroom with possible microbial growth and needed it checked immediately. This is a day care facility and the staff was concerned for the children.
This
was an interesting job. The moisture
source could not be traced initially.
This closet was in behind the entry door, with no known moisture sources
in the area. The closet used to be an
old coat closet and was converted to a storage closet when shelves were added
over the old wall paper that definitely had microbial growth. Once the shelves were pulled, it was obvious
that whomever installed the shelves nailed a ledger board into the ductwork
that went up inside the wall to the second floor. When the
cold air crossed the nails and the nail heads in the closet were warm, they
condensate onto the old wall paper and with no air flow or light it was a great
place for mold to manifest.
Confirmation
from the Lab that remediation was successful, no elevated levels and no toxic
molds exist.
