Calendar of upcoming Continuing Education


 Calendar of upcoming Continuing Education events at United Fire & Water Damage #101 and Mold Remediation - you can pre-register now!! Get your seat before the invitations even go out!

   

During our Mold Remediation presentation, we build containment, set up negative air and simulate mold growth within a structure. We then remove contaminated structural material, we show how to clean and remediate using wet wipe applications, HEPA vacuuming, and dry ice blasting, how to encapsulate, how to use a sander in conjunction with a HEPA vac to remediate, etc. This “hands on” course covers the basics of assessment, sampling, containment, remediation and post remediation testing. The course includes many large loss case studies and the results of each project.

Our Water Damage #101 course includes a 200 square foot structure actually being flooded, with attendees benefiting from a “hands on” experience with extraction, weighted extraction, rotary extraction, drying equipment including air movers, and refrigerant and desiccant dehumidifiers, moisture detection equipment including penetrating and non-penetrating moisture meters, hammer probes, infrared cameras, etc. We discuss Psychrometrics, Rapid Structural Drying, and the Principals of Drying.  The course includes many large loss case studies and the results of each project.

CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR INSURANCE INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS!!

Here is what recent attendees are saying about Water Damage #101

"The guys at United Fire & Water actually flooded their own offices..... and they dried it out right there in front of us!!"

"Interesting and informative.... thanks for the invite!"

"Your presentation this morning was excellent!"

"You guys are crazy.... I cant believe you actually flooded your own offices."

"I learned so much about water damage... things that I am already using in my work today"

"Kevin's presentation this morning was the most informative and exciting CE I have ever seen"

"Great job... you guys really nailed it!"

The presentation includes water damage effects on construction materials, how and why we extract, and how extraction is 500 times more effective than evaporation and dehumidification. We also walk attendees through airmovement, dehumidification, moisture mapping, and moisture content tracking. We show you what is wet, how to find hidden moisture intrusion, and how to correct the water damage. Attendees will have an opportunity to handle penetrating and non penetrating moisture meters, infrared cameras, and thermal hygrometers.


Don't miss your opportunity to learn first hand what information your clients will need when they have a water intrusion in their property, and steps that can be taken to mitigate damage.
