The ultimate goal is to find the "edge" of water migration, which moves in
a three-
dimensional path throughout the structure. This is accomplished
across carpeted surfaces using a
(non-penetrating) moisture meter. - Answer moisture
sensor & non- invasive
Water from a clean source with no substantial risk of causing sickness of
discomfort is said to be _ water. - Answer Category 1
Water that has a significant degree of chemical, biological, and/or
physical contamination and a potential to cause sickness or
discomfort is _.
- Answer Category 2
Cleaning procedures must be employed before the drying of a Category 2
water loss can continue. At a minimum, affected (or pad) must be
removed and disposed of, and carpet must be throughly cleaned using
hot water extraction method. - Answer carpet underlay
When water intrusion results from a grossly unsanitary source or carries
(disease causing) agents, it is said to be Category 3. -
Answer pathogenic
Workers and occupant and safety are the first priority on every
sewage loss. Areas affected by Category 3 water intrusion are marked
and posted as potentially hazardous. - Answer health
Various cleaning and decontamination procedures must be used on
Category 3 water losses, including the removal of all materials
affected by the water intrusion. - Answer highly porous
When resistance is encountered and performing proper services in a
Category 3 water loss becomes a challenge, restorers
immediately to prevent liability
and address the conflict. - Answer stop work
Third party experts are commonly referred to as Indoor Environmental
Professionals, or . - Answer IEPs
Losses where regulated or hazardous materials have contaminated the
structure do not change the of water. - Answer category
Pre-existing conditions should be identified, documented, and
communicated to all
parties during the initial inspection. - Answer
materially interested
, .
When carpet delamination (the loss of integrity in the adhesives used to
laminate the
and backings) has occurred, further damage is very
likely. For this reason, when extensive carpet delamintation is discovered,
technicians must call it to the attention of all materially interested parties,
document the condition and suggest . - Answer primary,
secondary, & replacement
There are a number of causes for carpet delamination -- many of them
related to
restoration activities. - Answer improper
Typical causes of carpet delamination are: - Answer 1. Folding or
stretching carpet when wet
2. Overly aggressive extraction
3. Improperly specified carpet underlay
4. Improper installation
5. Improper removal from tack strip
6. Improper floating of carpet
7. Excessive wear
8. Pet damage
Many building materials will absorb excess water vapor and suffer
damage, especially when air is allowed to remain above % relative
humidity. - Answer 60
Hygroscopic materials gain and lose moisture continually in an effort to
with the water content in the surrounding air mass. The more
hygroscopic the material, the faster it will collect water vapor, and the
easier it will suffer
damage. - Answer equalize & secondary
When water intrusion results in water running through wall cavities,
inspection access holes are used to ensure that blow-in insulation has
not compacted and lost its _- . - Answer R-Value
The most effective way to speed the drying process is to remove as much
of the
water in a liquid state as possible during the phase (for
example, multiple extractions). Poor extraction will significantly slow
Answer extraction
Abide by local and regulations when disposing extracted water. Waste
water is best disposed of into a sanitary sewer. - Answer laws
The primary goal of the initial extraction of the affected area is to contain
further
of the water within the structure. - Answer migration
Whenever carpet must be disengaged from the tackless strip, a
and carpet awl must be used. - Answer knee kicker
