This three-day course is based on theIICRC S-500 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Water Damage Restoration. You will follow the process of a job from the initial emergency phone call to the complete restoration of the home or building.

Along the way you will understand and use inspection tools to determine what is wet. These same tools will allow you to prove conclusively that the structure has been completely dried to acceptable levels.

Following identification of wet materials you will use every type of equipment from extractors to air movers, air scrubbers and dehumidifiers.

The term psychrometry may intimidate you at first. But after three days you will be using terms such as grains of moisture, infiltration, equilibrium moisture content and desiccant. In other words you will have become a professional restorer of water damaged property.
