The most critical course of action in restorative drying is to ____and begin
as soon as possible. - respond quickly & mitigation
1. All restorers should follow the standard of care for the water restoration profession
developed by the restoration industry entitled the IICRC . - S500
2. 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
i. to the body. - potential exposures
3. Respiratory protection regulations state that the employer must provide: - 1. Medical
evaluations
4. Fit testing
5. Training
6. 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
The technicians 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
9. structure. During this process, the restorer inspects all areas. -
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 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 of 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 (or pad) must be removed and
13. disposed of, and carpet must be throughly cleaned using hot water extraction method. -
14. carpet underlay
15. When water intrusion results from a grossly unsanitary source or carries (disease causing)
agents, it is said to be Category 3. - pathogenic
16. Workers and occupantand safety are the first priority on every sewage loss. Areas affected
by Category 3 water intrusion are marked and posted as potentially hazardous. - health
17. 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
18. 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
19. Third party experts are commonly referred to as Indoor Environmental Professionals, or
a. . - IEPs
20. Losses where regulated or hazardous materials have contaminated the structure do not
change the of water. - category
Pre-existing conditions should be identified, documented, and communicated to all
parties during the initial inspection. - materially interested
21. When carpet delamination (the loss of integrity in the adhesives used to laminate the
a. and backings) has occurred, further damage is very likely. For this reason, when
extensive carpet delamintation is discovered, technicians must call it to the attention
of all materially interested parties, document the condition and suggest
b. . - primary, secondary, & replacement
22. There are a number of causes for carpet delamination -- many of them related to
a. restoration activities. - improper
23. Typical causes of carpet delamination are: - 1. Folding or stretching carpet when wet 2.
Overly aggressive extraction
24. 3. Improperly specified carpet underlay 4. Improper installation
25. 5. Improper removal from tack strip 6. Improper floating of carpet
26. Excessive wear
