Flood houses offer a unique way for restoration companies to train employees on drying methods and equipment before sending them out to a real water loss. There are many flood houses around the country – some that operate as independent businesses, and some that are run by manufacturers specifically so current customers and potential customers can give equipment a test drive before making a large purchase.
As the work of restoration companies expands into new arenas like crime scene cleanup and illicit drug lab remediation, some flood houses are making changes to offer training beyond drying science and techniques.
