Continuing Education (Restoring Contaminated Buildings)

This course has been specifically designed to teach and explain the special procedures used by professionals in storm, large loss, and contaminated water events. Storm events may significantly impact the local area they strike, causing not only property damage but also chaos and confusion. While the cleanup and restoration following a storm event can be a long, tedious effort, mitigation efforts must begin quickly to prevent storm-damaged properties from escalating to contaminated properties. We will discuss how the response required in a storm event or large loss must meet the challenges and complexities of those situations while focusing on safety for everyone involved – the restorer, the workers, the property owner and the adjuster. We will also discuss the differences in responding to a contaminated water event and the special procedures required.
