- When drier air is used, and
- When air is moved more rapidly across the wet surface.

Antimicrobials & Biocides
Biocides & Antimicrobials
Antimicrobials & Biocides
Controlling microbial activity at a restoration site may also require the use of chemical agents. Before deciding to use an antimicrobial or biocide, it is critical to first understand the terminology, technology and chemistry behind the individual product. The Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) has defined three levels of biocidal activity:
° Sanitizer : A cleaning or disinfecting treatment designed to
reduce the number of pathogenic
microorganisms to a safe level. This is the lowest
level of biocidal activity.
° Disinfectant: A solution designed to destroy or inhibit the
growth of microorganisms, but not
necessarily their spores.
° Sterilizer: A product designed to destroy all microorganisms
(fungi, bacteria, viruses, etc.) and their
spores.
(RSA [RS101] )

Dehumidifiers ate tool that simply remove water from the air. Much like any other tool, there are situations where a dehumidifier will work well, and other times when a certain technology would be inefficient. General Guidelines.
LGR: Low Grain Refrigerant.
Use in most residential / small commercial situations.
Good for warm/high humidity conditions
Adequate for drier conditions down to 34 gpp
Portable Desiccant:
use for difficult to dry situations, such as difficult class-4 losses.

Hardwood Floor Drying
Hardwood floor Drying
Once it has been determined that the floor can be salvaged by in-place drying, the first step is to determine a dry goal for the hardwood and sub-floor Directing warm dry air under and between the boards, is the most effective way to dry the hardwood. The wood is considered dry when:
(RSA) 101 2011
- Hardwood and sub-surfaces are within 2-4 percentage points of normal EMC. ( Equilibrium moisture content)
- Sub-surfaces below hardwood are dried to within 2-4 percentage points of the hardwood.
(RSA) 101 2011
