Wrt Flashcard Exam ,With 104 Questions & Answers 2024
( A+ Graded 100% Verified
1. Category 1: This category of water loss does not normally pose a threat to people
2. refrigerant: A type of dehumidifier that is excellent for removing surface water from
porous materials in HIGHER temperatures and humidity.
3. independent Third Party: Should be considered when there are high-risk occupants
4. Category 3: In some situations to avoid liability stopping work is acceptable, when
the insured and/or the insurance rep. insist on saving Cat. 3 Carpet and Pad
5. Biocidal Application: Obtaining product use authorization forms and provide the
building occupants with M.S.D.S forms may be part of the initial before Biocidal
Application.
6. sanitary sewage system: Can be used for disposal of extracted wastewater from a
sewage damaged structure
7. Negative Air Pressure: Should be considered when encountering crawlspaces
contaminated with sewage
8. Sewage Backup: Most important consideration when encountering a building space
when exposed to sewage backup is the health of technicians and building occupants
9. Immunizations: Consult a physician after being exposed to water damage
conditions
10. Extremely High Humidity: Creates a rise in moisture content especially in
hardwood furniture. This may result in swelling across the hardwood grain.
11. High Value Rugs: Contaminated w/ Category 3 water can be cleaned. It would be
immersed in a suitable biocide, re-cleaned, and then dried followed by testing
12. Biocides: Always vacate general affected areas before using
13. overheating: Blocking the inlet of a carpet dryer can cause a risk of fire.
14. refrigerant dehumidifier: Most Common type of dehumidifier in the restoration
industry
15. Dry Standard/ Drying Goal: When moisture detection devices confirm that
materials are dry.
16. Hygrometer: measures relative humidity strictly
17. Correct balance of Drying: Important to be familiar w/ equipment performance,
cubic feet of the affected area and the thermo- hygrometer readings
18. Balanced Drying System: Occurs when the rate of evaporation does not exceed the
rate of dehumidification
19. Dehumidification: Process by which evaporated moisture is removed from the air
space

falls below 70 F.?: Refrigerant
1/6
, 21 Open Drying System: Intentionally using the outdoor air to reduce the indoor
humidity
22. Closed Drying System: Intentionally keeping the doors and windows closed and not
allowing exchange between the indoor and outdoor air
23. Desicant: Type of dehumidifier that can extract moisture from the air in cold
climates
24. Moisture Evaporating from a wet material will cause that material to become.?:
Cooler
25. Process of a solid changing directly into a ____ is known as sublimation: Vapor
26. Category 2 & 3: Soft porous materials must be removed and disposed of when
present
27. As humidity decreases the rate of evaporation.?: Increases
28. Air is in a _______ state when it will hold no more water vapor.?: Saturated
State
29. Increasing the heat within a structure will cause an ________ in the rate of
evaporation.?: Increase

Evaporation
33. Psychometry: Science and practice associated with water vapor and air pressures
34. The _________ strongly determines the length of time that will be required to
dry water damaged materials: Rate of evaporation
35. Which type of dehumidifier creates the lowest vapor pressure.?: Desiccant
36. Air movement and moisture vapor traveling into a building envelope through
cracks and crevices is known as.?: Infiltration
37. _________ is the ratio of moisture suspended in the air as a percentage of the
total moisture holding capacity of that air: Relative Humidity
38. Humidity Ratio: Directly related to vapor pressure
39. Dew Point: Temperature at which a given volume of air becomes saturated
40. The ''______" on carpet padding is a coating applied to assist the carpet
installer install the carpet: Skin
41. ________ is the moisture that most readily evaporates from wood materials:
Surface Moisture
42. Hygroscopic: tending to absorb moisture from the air
