Three Key Questions:

The success of each and every decision made during the restorative drying process depends on the information upon which the decision was based. The process of restorative drying involves a continuous cycle of information gathering, interpretation, decision making, validation and adjustment... There are 3 questions that summarize the information that must be obtained, documented and evaluated throughout the restorative drying process. When left unanswered, these questions are the source of the most common deficiencies in inspection and documentation. The four key questions, or 'knows' of drying are:
•What's Wet?
•How Wet Is It?
•Is It Drying?
Inspection, monitoring and documentation answer these 3 questions. A gap in this process will result in improper drying, additional water damage, and compromised cleanliness and integrity. Proper instruments and tools are a key ingredient to successful completion in the drying process.
