IICRC MIDTERM EXAM 2026/2026 QUESTIONS AND 100%
CORRECT ANSWERS
what is the most critical course of action in restorative drying - to respond quickly
what is the standard care for water restoration professionals developed by the restoration industry
entitled - 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 - potential exposures
to the body
respiratory protection regulations state that the employer must provide - medical evaluations fit
testing and training
as a minimum medical requirement technicians performing water damage restoration services need
medical consultation with their - 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 - payment and should be signed
before work begins
the most common safety hazards associated with water damaged structures results in - slips and falls
federal regulations apply to the handling of - 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 - 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 - 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 -
category 1 clean water
, what are the has a significant degree of chemical biological and or physical contamination is -
Category 2
when water intrusion results from a grossly unsanitary Source or carries - pathogenic disease causing
agents it is said to be Category 3
worker and occupant health and safety are the first priority on every sewage loss areas affected by
Category 3 water intrusion are marked and posted as potentially hazardous -
when resistance is encountered and Performing proper services in a category 3 water loss becomes a
challenge restores - stop work immediately and prevent liability
losses where regulated or hazardous materials have contaminated the structure are considered -
special situations
Third Party Experts are commonly referred to as indoor environmental professionals or IEPs -
pre-existing conditions should be identified documented and communicated to all - 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 - replacement
there are a number of causes for carpet delamination many of them related to - improper restoration
activities
typical causes of carpet delamination are - 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 - secondary damage
