Class finished up today at Servicemaster of Salt lake

IICRC  certification class finished up today for Water Restoration Tech (Restorative drying101)

8 people from 3 states and 4 offices. Class taught by our own certified instructor: Robert Fairbanks..went very well. All points restorative drying were covered from when you first receive the phone call to customer interaction, required paper work, class & categories of water loss. Equipment to place in home, and how to decide how much & what type to place by room size, offsets, what is wet, what is your drying goal. How to figure Relative humidity, GPP, vapor pressure, dew point and how they all effect your drying strategy and goal. This blogger got to revisit math formulas  long forgotten after a 35 year carrier in banking operations ( I know, I heard it before, you had to know math in banking..but think about the old days  when people wrote checks. tens of million of checks flying across the country every night..different math)

It was a great learning experience. Until you learn what the Techs need to know to make all the correct decisions on a water loss job to reach the drying goal, never think its just extracting water and placing a few fans (air movers) around the room.

And if you do have a water loss, PLEASE  DO NOT  turn off or reposition the fans (air movers) it will just delay drying goal and could cause secondary damage.
