Restorative drying is a process used to recover from many forms of water intrusion by: - assessment, documentation, controlled drying, selective replacement

The systems of drying have been detailed in several key documents, including the IICRC S500 Standard and Referance Guide for Professional Water Damage Restoration. The S500 is? - "The Standard of Care for the water restoration industry.

The goal of the restoration process is to transform an abnormally wet, potentially damaged structure into an environment that can be reoccupied, of equal or better appearance and cleanliness that before the intrusion occurred, and to do so in the most ___ __ and _ ____ means possible. - economical and efficient

The restorer begins this process by identifying all affected materials. Water must be tracked from its initial source and diligently followed in every direction it migrated to establish an accurate perimeter. Once the perimeter is identified, the restorer then documents what types of materials have been __________. - affected

Affected materials are evaluated against three criteria to determine if they should be restored or replaced. The three criteria are: - contamination, damage, cost

"After identifying the material and conSidering contamination, damage and cost, the restorer decides which materials should be dried and which should be replaced. In addition, the restorer will also decide which method of drying should be used, including:" - 

"Drying progress is noted during daily monitoring visits. The restorer asks is it drying?n while comparing two sets or data. The first and second sets of data, recorded on a monitoring report, reflect the impact of the drying effort on the affected material over a ______ period. - 24 hour

" If materials are not drying, the restorer must re-evaluate the equipment, systems and processes. If the current system is not working ________are required - changes

"Throughout the process, materials will return to normal moisture levels. The restorer must constantly ask ""Is it done?"" during the monitoring process. This means the restorer must know what done is. The materials must be compared against a ______." - Drying Standard (drying goal)
