WEST POINT, NY

West Point Military Academy Mold Treatment

OVERVIEW:

GETI was retained to treat the West Point Military Academy 181-C apartment complex for widespread mold infestation in Fort Montgomery, New York. GETI found that the moisture content was greater than 19% in the apartments. Based on EPA data and scientific research, a moisture content of greater than 19% or relative humidity greater than 60% can allow mold growth if NOT Dried within 24-48 hours. Mold was visually present in attic and basement spaces in August 2019.

Challenge:

Older apartment complexes contain many small rooms and hard to work around spaces. This requires added time to prepare the spaces for heat treatment.

Solution:

GETI field teams installed thermal protection or heat shields around apartment appliances prior to treatment. Structural Pasteurization of each building utilized up to 20 inches of static pressure-positive air flow reaching microbial thermal death points using the JetGreen™ Micro Turbine patented technology. Air Scrubbing vacuums and HEPA Filtration units removed residual solids after treatment.
