Latest Questions with Verified Solutions
-
Shall - The practice or procedure is mandatory due to natural law or regulatory
requirement, including occupational public health and other relevant laws, rules or regulations
and is therefore a component of the accepted "standard of care" to be followed.
Should - The practice or procedure is a component of the accepted "standard of care" to
be followed, while not mandatory by regulatory requirements.
Recommend - The practice or procedure is advised or suggested, but it is not a
component of the accepted "standard of care" to be followed.
May - Signifies permission expressed by the document, it means that a referenced
practice or procedure is permissible within the limits of this document, but is not a component
of the accepted "standard of care" to be followed.
Can - Signifies an ability or possibility open to user of the document, and it means that a
reference to practice or procedure is possible or capable of application, but is not a component
of the accepted "standard of care" to be followed.
What is our first concern? - Health and safety of workers and occupants.
Why does rapid response matter? - It limits damage and reduces drying time.
What is mitigation in water damage restoration? - Mitigation is limiting the overall cost
and scope of the repairs necessary to return the building to service.
Safety issue: Water through electrical system or appliances - Turn off power to that area
and contact a qualified person to repair.
Safety Issue: Slip and fall hazard - Extract standing water, put out signage, inform
occupants of the hazard.
Safety Issue: Sagging drywall ceilings that are saturated: - Immediately drain the water
out of the ceiling, remove the ceiling materials and dispose of them properly.
Safety Issue: Mold growth discovered: - Put on appropriate PPE, inform occupants, shut
off HVAC in that area, contain the mold, remediate if possible.
, Principles of Drying: - 1. Remove the excess.
2. Dehumidification
3. Evaporation
4. Temperature control
While you are doing this document everything through emails, pictures, forms, notes and other
correspondence.
Extractors: - Portable, flood pumper or truck mounted units are used to extract water.
Extraction Tools - Light wand is perfect to extract from carpet without padding.
Subsurface tools extract water from carpet and pad in place.
Sump Pumps - For standing water, pumps are much more effective than vacs.
Air Movers - Used to increase the rate of evaporation and reduce drying time.
LGR Dehumidifiers - Low Grain Refrigerants (LGR) are the workhorse of the restoration
industry. They work best in temperatures from 70-90 degrees F and remove large amounts of
water pumped through a hose into a drain.
Desiccant Dehumidifiers - Removes water using silica gel and exhausts humid air to the
outside. Has the ability to produce the driest air.
Air Filtration Devices - These filter the air to create negative pressure containment or to
reduce contamination aerosolized during drying depending on how they are set up. (Scrubbers)
Heating Equipment - Electric or fuel burning. Direct application to materials or heat the
air. Choose the heater that fits the task.
Air Injection System - These are a must for drying hardwood floors and are a great tool
for drying moisture trapped in wall assemblies.
Wood Floor Drying Mats - These are combined with the air injection systems for
hardwood floor drying.
Moisture Meters and Hygrometer - These are for determining the moisture content of
materials and analyzing the drying environment.
IR Camera - These show surface temperatures and since surfaces cool when water is
evaporating from them, cool spots can indicate where to look for moisture.
