Water Restoration Technicians are dependent on a wide range of tools on a daily basis, ranging from moisture meters and infrared cameras to dehumidifiers and heat drying systems. One underestimated, but essential tool is knowledge and this is gained through both industry training and hands-on experience. Unfortunately, many individuals believe simply owning the tools to do the job makes them an expert in that field, the result of which can be disastrous to not only the individual, but the restoration industry as a whole.
Around the world, flood houses are being specifically manufactured to support an industry’s thirst for knowledge; whether they be single rooms or entire houses, the structures offer an opportunity to not only learn the science of drying, but also the practical knowledge required to effectively function in the field. But surely the theory is enough? Well, quite simply the answer is no.
