what is the most critical course of action in restorative drying - ANSWER:to respond quickly
what is the standard care for water restoration professionals developed by the restoration industry
entitled - ANSWER:IICRC S500
to help protect technicians from the many hazards associated with contaminated water losses restores
need to have ready access to several items these items protect for all - ANSWER:potential exposures to
the body
respiratory protection regulations state that the employer must provide - ANSWER:medical evaluations
fit testing and training
as a minimum medical requirement technicians performing water damage restoration services need
medical consultation with their - ANSWER:primary health care physician for appropriate immunizations
the contract clearly states the agreement between the building owner and the restoration contractor the
form specifies who is responsible for payment and the terms of - ANSWER:payment and should be
signed before work begins
the most common safety hazards associated with water damaged structures results in - ANSWER:slips
and falls
federal regulations apply to the handling of - ANSWER:lead-based paint and asbestos
after safety concerns have been addressed and the initial water source has been stopped the restore
must complete an evaluation of the waters migration through the structure during this process to
restore inspects all - ANSWER:potentially affected areas
the ultimate goal is to find the edge of water migration which moves in a three-dimensional path
through the structure this is accomplished across carpeted surfaces using a - ANSWER:moisture sensor
and across most hard surfaces using a moisture meter non-penetrating moisture meter
water from a clean source with no substantial risk of causing sickness or discomfort is said to be -
ANSWER:category 1 clean water
what are the has a significant degree of chemical biological and or physical contamination is -
ANSWER:Category 2
when water intrusion results from a grossly unsanitary Source or carries - ANSWER:pathogenic disease
causing agents it is said to be Category 3:
when resistance is encountered and Performing proper services in a category 3 water loss becomes a
challenge restores - ANSWER:stop work immediately and prevent liability
losses where regulated or hazardous materials have contaminated the structure are considered -
ANSWER:special situations
, pre-existing conditions should be identified documented and communicated to all - ANSWER:materially
interested parties during the initial inspection
when carpet delamination the loss of Integrity in the adhesives used to laminate the primary and
secondary backing has occurred further damage is very likely for this reason when extensive carpet
delamination is discovered ignitions must call it to the attention of all materially interested parties
document the condition and - ANSWER:replacement
there are a number of causes for carpet delamination many of them related to - ANSWER:improper
restoration activities
typical causes of carpet delamination are - ANSWER:folding or stretching carpet When Wet overly
aggressive extraction improper specified underlay improper installation improper removal of taxes trip
improper floating of carpet excessive wear pet damage
hygroscopic materials gain and lose moisture continually in an effort to equalize 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 - ANSWER:secondary damage
when water intrusion results in water running through wall cavities inspection access holes are used to
ensure that blown in insulation has not compacted and lost it - ANSWER:r value
cleaning procedures must be employed before the drying of a category 2 water loss can continue at
minimum affected underlay must be removed and disposed of and the carpet must be thoroughly
cleaned using a hot water extraction method - ANSWER:
various cleaning and decontamination procedures must be used on Category 3 water losses including the
removal of all - ANSWER:porous materials affected by water intrusion
mini building materials will absorb excess water vapor and suffer damage especially when the air is
allowed to remain above - ANSWER:60% relative humidity
the primary goal of the initial extraction of the affected area is to contain further - ANSWER:migration of
water within the structure
whenever a carpet must be disengaged from the topless strip a - ANSWER:knee kicker and carpet all
must be used
if the carpet is to be reinstalled technician should avoid cutting carpet seams unless it is absolutely -
ANSWER:necessary
how many gallons of water are present in a basement that measures 30 x 25 where water is standing at a
depth of 6 ft 9 in - ANSWER:37867.5
the most effective way to speed up the drying process is to remove as much of the water in the liquid
state as possible during - ANSWER:extraction face pore extraction will significantly slow the drying
process
every cubic foot of standing water present in a structure contains - ANSWER:7.48 gallons
each gallon of water weighs - ANSWER:8.34 lb
