Whether you are a restorer, adjuster, property owner or manager, the guidance provided in the 3rd Edition of the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification S500 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Water Damage Restoration will assist you in making appropriate decisions when it comes to restoring wet buildings and contents.

The S500, for the first time, includes some guidance in determining the appropriate amount of drying equipment initially needed on water-damage restoration projects when employing dehumidification in the process. (It should be noted that there are other methods of drying buildings and their contents, such as hot air drying systems and other forms of ventilation, including an open drying system; however, the following only applies directly to dehumidification methods.)
