1. Shall: The practice or procedure is mandatory due to natural law or regulatory
requirement, including occupational public health and other relevant laws, rules or
regulations and is therefore a component of the accepted "standard of care" to be
followed.
2. Should: The practice or procedure is a component of the accepted "standard of care"
to be followed, while not mandatory by regulatory requirements.
3. Recommend: The practice or procedure is advised or suggested, but it is not a
component of the accepted "standard of care" to be followed.
4. May: Signifies permission expressed by the document, it means that a referenced
practice or procedure is permissible within the limits of this document, but is not a
component of the accepted "standard of care" to be followed.
5. Can: Signifies an ability or possibility open to user of the document, and it means that
a reference to practice or procedure is possible or capable of application, but is not a
component of the accepted "standard of care" to be followed.
6. What is our first concern?: Health and safety of workers and occupants.
7. Why does rapid response matter?: It limits damage and reduces drying time.
8. What is mitigation in water damage restoration?: Mitigation is limiting the overall
cost and scope of the repairs necessary to return the building to service.
10. Safety issue: Water through electrical system or appliances: Turn off power to
that area and contact a qualified person to repair.
11. Safety Issue: Slip and fall hazard: Extract standing water, put out signage, inform
occupants of the hazard.
12. Safety Issue: Sagging drywall ceilings that are saturated:: Immediately drain the
water out of the ceiling, remove the ceiling materials and dispose of them properly.
13. Safety Issue: Mold growth discovered:: Put on appropriate PPE, inform occupants,
shut off HVAC in that area, contain the mold, remediate if possible.
14. Principles of Drying:: 1. Remove the excess.
2. Dehumidification
3. Evaporation
4. Temperature control

, 15. Extractors:: Portable, flood pumper or truck mounted units are used to extract
water.
16. Extraction Tools: Light wand is perfect to extract from carpet without padding.
Subsurface tools extract water from carpet and pad in place.
17. Sump Pumps: For standing water, pumps are much more effective than vacs.
18. Air Movers: Used to increase the rate of evaporation and reduce drying time.
19. LGR Dehumidifiers: Low Grain Refrigerants (LGR) are the workhorse of the
restoration industry. They work best in temperatures from 70-90 degrees F and
remove large amounts of water pumped through a hose into a drain.
20. Desiccant Dehumidifiers: Removes water using silica gel and exhausts humid air to
the outside. Has the ability to produce the driest air.
21. Air Filtration Devices: These filter the air to create negative pressure containment
or to reduce contamination aerosolized during drying depending on how they are set
up. (Scrubbers)
22. Heating Equipment: Electric or fuel burning. Direct application to materials or heat
the air. Choose the heater that fits the task.
23. Air Injection System: These are a must for drying hardwood floors and are a great
tool for drying moisture trapped in wall assemblies.
24. Wood Floor Drying Mats: These are combined with the air injection systems for
hardwood floor drying.
25. Moisture Meters and Hygrometer: These are for determining the moisture content
of materials and analyzing the drying environment.
26. IR Camera: These show surface temperatures and since surfaces cool when water is
evaporating from them, cool spots can indicate where to look for moisture.
27. Knee Kicker and Awl: A must for disengaging the carpet from tack strip.
28. Extension Cords and GFCI: Delivering electricity to your equipment requires safe
cables in good working condition.
29. Sprayers and Cleaning Tools: For applying anti microbial and biocide and cleaning
up the work area.
30. Consumables: Tape, sheet plastic, styrofoam blocks, plastic furniture tabs,
antimicrobial and biocides.
31. Hierarchy of Controls: 1. PPE
2. Administrative Controls
3. Engineering Controls
