All restorers should follow the standard of carte for the water restoration
profession developed by the restoration industry entitled the IICRC ____________
- correct answer-S500
The goal of the restoration process is to transform an abnormally wet, potentially
damaged structure into an environment that can be reoccupied, of equal or
better appearance and cleanliness than before the intrusion occurred and to do
so in the most ____________ and ____________ means possible. - correct
answer-economical; efficient
affected materials are evaluated against three criteria to determine if they should
be restored or replaced. The three criteria are: - correct answer-Contamination,
Damage, Replacement Cost
,All materials that are determined restorable are inspected further, and the
amount of moisture absorbed by the material is ___________ and
______________. - correct answer-measured; documented
Drying process is noted during daily monitoring visits. The restorer asks "Is it
drying?" while comparing two sets of data. The first and the second sets of data,
recorded on a monitoring report, reflect the impact of the drying erffort on the
affected materials over a ______________ period. - correct answer-24 hour
if materials are not drying the restorer must re-evaluate the equipment, systems
and processes. The current system is not working. The restorer must re-evaluate
the equipment, systems and processes and _____________ his or her approach. -
correct answer-refine
Throughout the process materials will return to return to normal moisture levels.
The restorer must constantly ask "Is it done?" during the monitoring process. This
means the restorer must know what "done" is. The materials must be compared
against a ___ ________. - correct answer-dry standard
It is important that restoration processes and procedures are carefully evaluated

After safety concerns have been addressed and the initial water source has been
stopped, the restorer must complete an evaluation of the water's migrations
through the structure. During this process, the restorer inspects all ___________
________ areas. - correct answer-potentially affected
The ultimate goal is to find the "edge" of water migration, which moves in a
three-dimensional path throughout the structure. This is accomplishes across
carpeted surfaces using a ________ ______, and across most hard surfaces using
a ____________ (non-penetrating) moisture meter. - correct answer-moisture
sensor; non-invasive
