Restorative Drying 101 (WRT) Study Guide
1. The most critical course of action in restorative drying is to __________
_______________ and begin ________ as soon as possible: Respond Quickly
Work
2. All restorers should follow the standard of care for the water restoration
profession developed by the restoration industry entitled the IICRC
_______________.: S500
3. To help protect technicians from the many hazards associated with
contaminated water losses, restorers need to have ready access to several
items. These items protect for all ________________ __________________
to the body.: Potential Exposures
4. Respiratory protection regulations state that the employer must provide::
Medical Evaluations
Fit Testing
Training
5. The contract clearly states the agreement between the building owner and
the restoration contractor. The form specifies who is responsible for
payment and should be signed ___________ work begins.: Before
6. The technician's first responsibility when arriving at a water damage site is
to identify, communicate and eliminate ____________ _________________
if reasonably possible.: Safety Hazards
7. Federal regulations apply to the handling of ___________ -based paint and
asbestos.: Lead
8. After safety concerns have been addressed and the initial water source has
been stopped, the restorer must complete an evaluation of the water's
migration through the structure. During this process, the restorer inspects
all
____________________ ______________________ areas.: Potentially Affected
9. 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 ________________ _____________, and
across most hard surfaces using a __________________________ (non-
penetrating) moisture meter.: Moisture Sensor
Non-Invasive
10. Water from a clean source with no substantial risk of causing sickness
or discomfort is said to be _____________________ _____ water.: Category 1
11. Water that has a significant degree of chemical, biological, and/or
physical contamination and a potential to cause sickness or discomfort is
, ____________________ _____.: Category 2
12. Cleaning procedures must be employed before the drying of a Category
2 water loss can continue. At a minimum, affected
___________________________________ must be removed and disposed of,
and carpet must be thoroughly cleaned using a hot water extraction method.:
Carpet Underlay
13. When water intrusion results from a grossly unsanitary source or carries
_____________________ (disease causing) agents, it is said to be Category
3.: Pathogenic
14. Worker 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.: Health
15. Various cleaning and decontamination procedures must be used on
Category 3 water losses, including the removal of all ____________
_____________ materials affected by the water intrusion.: Highly Porous
16. 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.: Stop
Work
17. Third party experts are commonly referred to as Indoor Environmental
Professionals, or ___________.: IEPs
18. Losses where regulated or hazardous materials have contaminated the
structure do not change the __________________ of water.: Category
19. Pre-existing conditions should be identified, documented and
communicated to all ______________________ ________________________
parties during the initial inspection.: Materially Interested
20. When carpet delamination (the loss of integrity in the adhesive used to
laminate the _________________ and ____________________________
backings) has occurred, further damage is very likely. For this reason, when
extensive carpet delamination is discovered, technicians must call it to the
attention of all materially interested parties, document the condition and
suggest _______________ ________________________.: Primary and
Secondary
Carpet Replacement
21. There are a number of causes for carpet delamination ---- many of them
related to ______________ restoration activities.: Improper
