Case Study: Southern California School District Creates a Mold Operations and Maintenance Program with FACS

Southern California School District protects 34,000 students from mold issues with FACS

The Southern California School District faced a recurring mold problem in classroom ceilings that its maintenance staff could not resolve, causing significant concern among teachers, parents, and students. They engaged FACS for its expertise in mold and moisture consulting to investigate the issue and provide a solution.

FACS identified the root cause as condensation from heat transfer and oversaw the safe cleanup of the mold. The vendor then helped the district develop a comprehensive mold operations and maintenance program. This equipped the district to handle future issues internally, leading to faster response times and reducing the need for external consultants, which allowed the focus to return to the educational process.
