Do any of you have a reference (besides the IICRC S-520 standard) for the study that backs the 72-hour rule in water damage that says a category 1 (clear water) can move to category 3 (black water) in that time in regards to the affected contents?
I wrote about this on the dirt blog because I'm trying to shake out some of the things we say "are true" in this business, but when you dig a bit deeper, you see that there is no science backing it up.
I'd like someone to correct me on this one - please show me the science on this 72-hour rule, there has to be SOMETHING out there... I just can't imagine they'd just put it in without any proof. That would just make no sense.
Here's my post on MUS -

Also... I'm joining Jim Pemberton on IAQ Radio this Friday in case any of you are REALLY super bored Friday at 12pm Eastern...

Jim will have entertaining things to share... and me, I'll probably just bitch about the same stuff I always bitch about.
You know me... always horribly predictable....
