| Best Available Control Technology (BACT): |
The best available control technology (BACT) in water damage remediation includes; training, equipment and industry standards, implemented for the purpose of mitigating flood waters in wet buildings. Education Note: If the appropriate remediation and drying equipment are not available or are not capable of functioning properly, based on limitations such as electrical supply, the BACT requires the lowest achievable control rate and method which can manage and mitigate the damage. Often the lowest achievable control rate in water removal and building drying can result in secondary damage and an increase of mold growth in wet building materials. This lowest achievable rate must be carefully monitored, in its success or failure, and the results reported to the building owner and insurance adjuster. |
