Water Damage & Mold Assessment

Vertex assessed the extent of water damage and mold impacts throughout an unoccupied, framed 3-story apartment building. It was determined that water intrusion was caused by a rain event that occurred during construction when the roof and walls were not yet complete. Following assessment, Vertex developed a Mold Remediation Specification for submittal to the remediation contractors. Additionally, Vertex solicited competitive abatement proposals. We documented baseline moisture conditions, and monitored the remedial progress to ensure compliance with work specifications and industry standard abatement guidelines. Upon completion of remediation, Vertex performed the post-remedial visual clearance inspections.

Marlborough, MA
Water Damage Assessment

Vertex assisted our client in identifying sources of water intrusion and assessed the extent of water damage and visible mold impacts to two partially occupied apartment buildings. It was determined that water intrusion was caused by a leak from a roof cricket. Water intrusion from this leak had reportedly migrated through the attic space and into the common wall cavities of several apartments. Upon completion of the assessment, Vertex offered recommendations to adequately address these impacts.
Additionally, Vertex performed a post-drying and post-cleanup inspection to document the level of work performed by our clients' personnel and provide a determination regarding the level of success of the remedial efforts.
