Staff name was recorded on the attached LIC859. LPA inspected the classroom to ensure that the floors have a surface that is safe and clean. LPA also observed that the floor near the restroom door was lifted. According to the director there was a recent flooding approximately 3 months ago on one of the toilets. Director heard running water and when they checked to see where the water was coming from it was observed the water was coming from one of the restroom toilets. Director immediately called the plumber and was able to stop the water/flooding. Per the plumber, there was a pipe that connects to the toilet that somehow came off. The restroom was assessed and there were no hazards or concerns. LPA observed that overall, the floor seemed to be in good repair with some mild wear and tear in different areas of the room. When LPA was testing the sinks and toilets, LPA observed that flooring near one of the toilets was lifted which made it hard to open the door. LPA did not observe any other damage except the floor being lifted. Page 1 of 4 LPA did not observe any mold on the walls, any unusual smells, or any other visual hazards due to water damage.
