Ceiling Tiles

As we can all see, the picture to the right is not a pretty one. With the inordinate amount of plumbing necessary to operate a dental office, there can be times when a pipe or connection fails. Either this or some weather event may cause damage to the dental office.

When ceiling tiles become saturated with water they pose serious issues on multiple levels. Firstly, due to the weight of the water, the tile or tiles can become quite heavy and eventually may break and injure either an employee or visitor to the dental office.

Past this, when the immediate problem is "contained", the issue then may become one of air quality. In the above picture, the recommendation to the dental office was to replace the affected tiles due to appearance and potential for mold growth. This potential additionally could pose long term liabilities for the owner of the dental office as welll as open the office up to the visitation by the regulatory agencies.
