Good evening FBMS Parents & Guardians,
I hope this finds you enjoying a fun April vacation.
I wanted to inform you that in the early morning hours of Wednesday, April 17, a hot water tank in a storage closet on the 1st floor (7th grade wing) at the FBMS sprung a leak and water dispersed into the hallway and some of the adjoining classrooms. Fortunately, no other sections of the FBMS were impacted.
Upon arriving that morning, the custodial team came upon the scene and began immediate cleanup of the water. By 10:30 AM, the standing water in the hallways and the floors of the classrooms impacted by the spill had been cleaned up.
In addition, our maintenance team contacted ServiceMaster South Shore, an organization that has specialized in flood restoration services around the South Shore for 50 years, and they were on site by 11:00 AM and began the next phase of clean up. This consisted of setting up numerous fans and dehumidifiers in the areas impacted by the water damage. Their efforts were focused on continued drying of the floors, and any drywall, insulation or woodwork damaged by the water. They identified the moisture levels in the impacted spaces and made plans to remove and replace any and all areas that remained wet.
The machinery used by ServiceMaster, which was up and running by 1:00 PM on Wednesday, has been running straight through and will continue through the weekend. Throughout the day, ServiceMaster has been removing sections of damaged drywall in the rooms and halls to further expedite the drying process in the impacted areas. Once verified dry, the plan will then be to install new drywall and insulation in those areas over the weekend. The final painting of those walls may not take place until later next week, but the main goal is to ensure all impacted areas are dry and that the new drywall and insulation can be put back in place as quickly and safely as possible. The plan is to have all impacted rooms ready to go for students and staff on Monday.
All plans for work will be reviewed by the Marshfield Building Inspector, the Marshfield Director of Public Health and we have consulted with the Marshfield Fire Department as well. In addition, I wanted to assure you that this work is covered fully by the school/town insurance. Thankfully, this event took place over vacation and did not disrupt students and staff while school was in session.
Please know that the only reason I did not share this information on Wednesday or earlier today is because I wanted to make sure we had firm plans in place in preparation for Monday. I did not want to send out partial information early on, just to change things as we got more information. The primary goal was to get rid of the water and damaged sections of drywall, and the custodians and the team from ServiceMaster have done just that. Now we have a plan for replacement already underway and we can more firmly say what we are able to do to prepare for Monday.
I want to take a moment to thank the FBMS Senior Custodian, Mr. Mike Gerroir and his custodial team, who worked tirelessly to ensure quick removal of the water on Wednesday morning. Some members of the team came back from vacation to assist in the cleanup. Their quick action helped prevent additional damage in the impacted areas. Mr. Russell and Mr. Bullock, from the Facilities & Maintenance department, have been working around the clock as well to ensure we have the support needed to complete the work.
We will have a better idea of the scope of remaining work sometime later tomorrow and we will provide an update at that point. The classrooms impacted by water on their floors were Rooms 100, 104, 113, 115, 117, 119, 121, 123, and 125, as well as a small office (rm 118). I apologize for the long note, but I wanted to share as much as we had at this time.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. Have a good evening.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey W. Granatino
Superintendent
