Description
Whether a building experiences a broken pipe, a roof problem, or a flood, most construction materials quickly degrade when exposed to water for even brief periods: wallboard, insulation, wood, flooring and paint to name just a few. In addition, in the case of energy-efficient airtight commercial facilities, damp materials and air-tight buildings create perfect conditions for mold, so the first 24 hours after exposure to water are crucial. In this session, the speaker will discuss measures to minimize additional damage after a water incident, and proper steps to navigating microbial growth. These tips can help save you thousands of dollars, and get your facility back on track faster.
