Disaster recovery and restoration can be veiled in mystery to the many who have not undertaken specific training. This glossary explains technical terms to assist both report writing and the understanding of those technical terms so often misunderstood.
Definition
| Bleeding: |
In water damage, the permanent removal and displacement of colours, dyes and pigments from a material substrate, due to swelling, moisture and pressure. Technician Note: Often bleeding of colours, dyes and pigments effect other materials, such as carpet, resulting in their damage. To correct bleeding of a fabric, the fabric should be kept wet and in solution, along with a detergent. The surfactant in the detergent along with the detergent itself, may temporarily suspend the migrant pigment dyes, until the bleeding can be removed. But once the material is dry, the bleeding is set into the dry fabric, which most likely has permanently damaged the fabric finish. |
| Bleeding of Paint: |
A condition resulting in newly painted surface flotation of colour, showing a bleed through of the subsurface. If the subsurface is wood, the condition of bleeding usually is a result of tannin bleeding. Typically, the subsurface was not prepped properly or primed with a base coat to eliminate a bleed through. See Tannin Bleeding . |
| Tannin Bleeding: |
A paint or a sealer condition caused by the bleeding of natural dyes in wood. The predominate wood causing tannin bleeding are cedar, fir and redwood. Tannin bleeding can occur on new and old wood when the wood is covered with a paint or sealer film. |
