The protocols are established in accordance with the policies established by document S520 published by the IICRC. The ANSI/S520 currently sets the standard for mold remediation. • To return the Room 7 to a normal fungal ecology and normal moisture levels, Room 7 area should be remediated by a certified remediation contractor using a remedial process aligning with IICRC S520. The areas with visible mold growth and/or wetness should be classified as Condition 3. The rest of the contents, adjacent walls, floors, ceilings should be classified as Condition 2. The certified remediation contractor should be engaged to oversee and complete all repairs and remediation of the office and its contents. They may have to subcontract certain services during the process, please reference the following recommendations: o Step 1: Repair sources of moisture and perform intrusive investigation as needed: ▪ All active water-related issues should be discovered and repaired before or in conjunction with the beginning of remediation cleaning. This could include but may not be limited to HVAC issues, roof leaks, foundation leaks, veneer leaks and any related plumbing leaks. • The professional(s) engaged to find and repair any active water issues should have qualifications relevant to the inspection that they are performing. This may include qualified professionals such as a licensed general contractor, a licensed plumber, and a NADCA certified HVAC professional. ▪ The remediation contractor may need to perform exploratory demo and/or non- invasive techniques to discover all sources. When the source is discovered, all wet and/or rotted building materials should be removed, dried and/or cleaned before any final repairs are made and before, or in conjunction with, the remediation cleaning process. o Step 2: Demolition ▪ Significantly moisture damaged or fungal damaged porous or semi-porous building materials should be removed, such as Condition 3 drywall. • This includes any Condition 3 porous or semi-porous (non-structurally significant) building materials. Upon removal of Condition 3 drywall, the interior of the wall cavity should be inspected for additional signs of moisture damage and microbial growth which may lead to additional removal of porous building materials. ▪ It is possible that no additional signs of suspect microbial growth are observed outside of the known areas of wetness/growth but a thorough intrusive inspection by the remediation contractor will help determine the condition. In order to fully inspect the water damaged areas and determine the full extent of the moisture issues, removal of additional building materials may be necessary. ▪ Standard remediation quality controls such as air filtration devices (AFDs), negative pressure, and containment should be used. The remediation contractor should follow any additional cleaning standards pertaining to this situation, as set forth by the IICRC S520 and other industry cleaning standards. o Step 3: Cleaning of Condition 2 and Condition 3 areas: DocuSign Envelope ID: 8114697F-F41C-43F1-AFE2-ADC7016F0955
