How to protect yourself from hidden mold problems during a purchase of a hotel
Don’t let inexperience and the absence of viewing the building as a whole unit fail to protect you during the buying process. Protect every step of your purchase transaction with tried and true building expertise.
Don't let a simple band-aid fix cause a mold problem in your hotel
Band-aid fixes are often applied to a hotel prior to selling to make the building more appealing. Catching these masked issues early on can prevent a catastrophic mold and moisture problem in your hotel.
Hotel renovation for the Super Bowl halted due to mold outbreak
The Super Bowl was right around the corner, and much was at stake for this hotel. It was undergoing a room rehab with a hard deadline when an unforeseen mold and moisture problem brought work to a screeching halt.
Buildings in warm, humid climates are prone to mold and moisture issues that can cause catastrophic failure. Liberty Building Forensics Group (LBFG) provides insight into how to avoid water intrusion, air leakage, condensation, deterioration, and air infiltration problems in new or old construction by achieving tight air barriers and building envelopes. They also discuss using HVAC systems properly to correct building pressurization and achieve dehumidification and humidity control, as well as avoiding mold and moisture problems in green design. A recognized leader in solving, remediating, and litigating complex moisture and mold-related building failures, LBFG has extensive expertise in investigating and resolving construction and design deficiencies.
