FSG had been called to see if there was anything that could be done to repair these stair treads and landings. The client had thought about replacing them, but decided to explore some options. The facility was willing to incur the expense of the replacement but FSG felt there was a potential savings to the facility and to the environment by not replacing them and instead restoring them.
When we arrived there was a patient that had just been moved out. We had asked EVS to clean the room out prior to us starting. These photos show contrast in a broad view of what the area looked like before and after we cleaned the floor.
