When operating schools or childcare centers, an all too common problem is water intrusion. This can happen not only from overflows from sinks and toilets, but also from sprinkler systems, HVAC systems and roof damage.
Properly migitating water damage in a school setting is imperative because developing children are more susceptible to the damaging affects of mold, which under the right circumstances can grow within 48 hours of a water problem occurring. Teachers are also concerned – not just for the children but for their health too.
In a childcare or school setting there are additional complexities that arise during water or mold mitigation activities, including:
- Do the technicians have appropriate criminal clearances to be around children?
- Do the contractors understand how to protect children from the hazards of their equipment and chemicals?
- Do the contractors understand the regulations that govern schools and daycares and how this may impact their work?
- Can the contractors do the work efficiently so as to minimize disruption to the school of childcare center?
