The MACK Group, LLC recently completed a large mold and moisture remediation project for a Fortune 500 industrial client. The work was performed in response to moisture infiltration of building components which subsequently produced mold.
The MACK Group, LLC (MACK) was selected to perform the project based on their expert level of mold remediation and removal contractor services, their professional reputation, their attention to safety and schedule as well as their economical approach to mold removal services.
All mold removal work was performed in compliance with all applicable USEPA guidelines as described in the document “Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings” and all ancillary OSHA standards pertaining to general contractor work practices. In order to provide minimal disturbance to the client’s on-going operations, work was performed during off hours and weekends.
The mold impact and mold growth was located along the perimeter walls and window wells of the building. These walls and wells were comprised of plaster on wire lathe. It is believed that mold growth resulted from leaks and or condensation from plumbing supplying the wall mounted HVAC systems in the window wells.
The remediation scope of work consisted of: Protection of all floor surfaces used for outside access utilizing 6 mil plastic sheeting and Masonite; Pre-cleaning of the work areas with HEPA vacuums to remove all pre-existing debris from floors, HVAC system covers and other horizontal surfaces; Isolation of the perimeter walls and window wells and venting of the work areas with HEPA filtered air filtration devices; installation of airtight polyethylene critical barriers over HVAC system covers within the window wells; Removal of visible mold growth by light sanding, scraping or use of nylon brushes; Application of a anti-microbial paint to the remediated surfaces; Post-remediation HEPA vacuum cleaning; Successfully passing final inspection and final air clearances.
Waste materials were bagged immediately, sealed and removed after each shift. These bagged materials were placed into covered carts which had to be transported carefully through the building to the waste dumpster. All wastes were properly disposed offsite.
The project was a complete success as it was accomplished on schedule, without injury or incident and within the client’s budget.
