MIC in FPS Water Damaged Buildings, By Patrick Moffett

November 4, 2010 By Matt Sanders Leave a Comment

A new technical paper for the insurance and restoration industry.

Issue: In recent years I’m seeing a growing number of commercial, high-rise and industrial floods caused by pipe breaks and sprinkler head discharge from the building’s fire suppression system. When MIC, odors and iron oxides are present, this situation requires remediating the affected areas as Category 3 while the remaining water is often remediated as Category 2. This paper discusses what MIC is and the odors it produces; iron oxides and other types of pipe corrosion; and why Category 1 mitigation is not practical without testing by the indoor environmental professional.

Enjoy reading and feel free to forward the article to others.
