Moisture Technology (M\TEC) was selected by the owner’s attorneys to conduct an assessment of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) throughout this twelve story, elegant hi-rise ocean front resort hotel at South Padre Island, Texas. The facility suffered severe water damage during Hurricane Ike in 2008 and was still dealing with the aftereffects, although extensive drying and remediation activities were implemented immediately following the storm.
M\TEC was charged with the responsibility of testing IAQ within the breathing spaces of multiple guest rooms and corridors, on various floor levels. Additionally, we were asked to identify any microbial conditions existing within the cavities of exterior wall assemblies, especially those areas surrounding PTAC through-wall air conditioners.
Our investigation required destructive testing, wherein we opened up selected wall cavities for inspection and sampling.
