In January a 4 story, Multi-Family Apartment Complex suffered water and mold damage during construction. Remediation Group, Inc. (RGI) was contracted to perform structural drying and dehumidification. RGI utilized 150 air movers and 5,000CFM Desiccant Dehumidifiers to reduce the moisture content of the building materials Due to the increased power consumption required to dry and dehumidify the building RGI installed subpanel boxes to comply to the electrical supply requirements. On all project RGI utilizes professionally trained and certified in house personnel. The building envelope was sealed and critical barriers were erected to help facilitate the structural drying and pending mold remediation processes. Negative pressurization was put in place to ensure proper movement of air throughout the structure. RGI owns all of its own equipment which allows for expedited and after hour emergency response. High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration machines were strategically place throughout the building help remove microbial elements and construction dust and particulates from the air during the remediation process. RGI utilized the Green Process of Dry Ice Blasting to remediate over a million linear feet of wood. (see Dry Ice Blasting under services for more details of this unique remediation process) RGI utilized the Green Process of Dry Ice Blasting to remediate over a million linear feet of wood. (see Dry Ice Blasting under services for more details of this unique remediation process) Spot sanding was also used during the remediation process. HEPA Vacuums removed settling debris before the decontamination phase. RGI Technicians and Project Managers perform a very detailed, hand wiping decontamination of all surfaces with an antimicrobial cleaning solution. Technicians and Project Managers worked in rotating shifts on nights and weekends to adhere to a time sensitive schedule in efforts to assure the smallest amount of disruption to the Prime General Contractor’s build schedule as possible. Following decontamination, RGI sealed all framing with a primer-like antimicrobial shield containing a white tracer element. Due to the time of year RGI had to ensure the building remained in certain optimal temperature and relative humidity conditions to apply the antimicrobial products, thus industrial torches were used. Newly installed windows were contained and protected from overspray while wood was being treated. Finally after a few short weeks the property was fully dried, remediated, protected and ready to be transformed into a beautiful, healthy Multi-Family Apartment Complex.
