Preferences in Receiving Flood House Training
According to an online survey of 1,239 U.S. restoration professionals on flood house training, 77 percent of respondents had completed training inside a flood house, defined as "a structure that's built so that it can be purposefully flooded with water in order to train the water damage restoration professionals of tomorrow, as well as insurance professionals, building professionals, and facility managers." Of those who had not received such training, 55 percent said there was no flood house in their local area. Forty-nine percent of respondents said they participated due to their interest in such training, and nearly all had received training inside the flood house along with in-classroom sessions. This also was the preferred method for receiving such training.
