The most critical course of action in restorative drying is to - Respond
Quickly
All restorers should follow the standard of care for the water restoration profession
developed by the restoration industry entitled the IICRC - S500
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
Respiratory protection regulations state that the employer must provide
1.

as a minimum medical requirement, technicians performing water damage restoration
services need medical consultation with their
for appropriate immunizations - Primary health care physician
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 technician's first responsibility when arriving at a water damaged sites is to identify,
communicate and eliminate - safety hazards
The most common safety hazards associated with water damaged structures result in

Federal regulations apply to the handling of based paint and asbestos - lead
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
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
Water from a clean source with no substantial risk of causing sickness or discomfort is
said to be water - Category one
Water that has a significant degree of chemical, biological, and/or physical
contamination and potential to cause sickness or discomfort is
water - Category two
When water intrusion results from a grossly unsanitary source or carries
(disease causing) agents, it is said to be a Category 3 - pathogenic
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
When resistance is encountered and performing proper services in a category 3 water
loss become a challenge, restorers immediately and prevent
liability - Stop Work
Third party experts are commonly referred to as Indoor Environmental Professionals, or
- IEPs
Losses where regulated or hazardous materials have contaminated the structure do no
change the of water - Category
Pre-existing conditions should be identified, documented and communicated to all
parties during the initial inspection - Materially interested
When carpet delamination (the loss of integrity in the adhesives used to laminate the
and backing) 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

There are a number of causes for carpet delamination - many of them related to
restoration activities - Improper
