Guidelines to address Water Intrusion Problems
Uncontrolled water intrusion into a building can originate from numerous sources. The most common sources include:
- Roof leaks and condensation forming above ceilings
- Pipe breaks (potable water, chilled water)
- Sewer line back-ups
- Flooding from outside of the building
- Moisture intrusion through the building envelope
Regardless of the source, water intrusion issues must be addressed in an expeditious manner in order to prevent the development of potentially serious indoor environmental quality (IEQ) problems. The following guidelines will outline actions to be taken when a water intrusion problem occurs.
Please contact the Environmental Health and Safety IEQ Coordinator at 392-1591 or tladun@ehs.ufl.edu for with any questions or concerns regarding mold clean up or indoor environmental quality in general.
