Wood-Ridge has to do mold remediation at town hall

The Wood-Ridge Council has passed three resolutions concerning emergency mold remediation at borough hall.

On April 23, the council passed the resolutions that approve Slavco Construction, Inc. of Clifton on a quote of $14,195 for the remediation of mold, $7,950 for exterior faade waterproofing and $17,900 for the restoration of the impacted area in borough offices.

The borough engineer obtained emergency service certification to remedy the situation.

The council acted on the combined recommendations of Neglia Engineering, Borough Administrator Chris Eilert and Borough Attorney Paul Barbire.

"(The mold) was in borough hall around all of the windows," said Eilert. "It was as a result of water infiltration from Hurricane Sandy."

The waterproofing was a preventive measure to protect against mold in the future. The restoration process involved waterproofing and new stucco.

"There were marble panels on the front of the building where the rain penetrated," said Eilert.

"We removed the panels, waterproofed it and put stucco in the front of the building."

Borough hall in Wood-Ridge is located at 85 Humboldt St.
