The findings also <br /> indicated that ground water underneath the building has created heavy amounts of organic <br /> growth in the crawl space that covers a large portion of the soil. Due to the humidity and <br /> seasons changing, this matter has become time sensitive in order to prevent any future moisture <br /> intrusion or organic growth into the building or entering into the HVAC equipment located within <br /> the crawl space. <br /> The scope of work includes: <br /> • Removal, cleaning and reinstallation of the downspouts.
