Water Damage Essentials

Description

Water damage is so commonplace to most Restoration  Professionals that sometimes we have to remind ourselves of its importance.  Water damage claims are the second most frequent insurance claim following wind and hail damage.  Restoration contractors often comment how these water restoration jobs are what keeps the lights on.  This one-hour course is an entertaining and wide-ranging interview hosted by Ed Cross with his topic expert Cole Stanton.  They explore technical elements as well as real lessons and tips from field experience.
