One thing that comes naturally to me is an understanding of science. In restoration, this helps in a wide variety of areas, from understanding Building Science, to predicting and evaluating how water flows through a building, to understanding how and why we clean things. It could be something as complex as thermodynamics for determining what is causing a building envelope issue or something as simple as grasping why physical removal of mold spores from an environment is the only true remediation. 

As a certified Building Moisture Inspector, I can evaluate a commercial or residential building and identify the relationship between the indoor air and the outdoor air (hot to cold, high to low, wet to dry) and apply science to track down where water or moisture is entering the envelope and how to correct it. 

As a water restoration specialist, I can apply the fundamentals of thermodynamics and physics to dry building materials efficiently and completely.

As a fire restoration specialist, I use science to identify how to save metal components that will oxidize if not treated, safely remove dangerous contamination, clean, and deodorize a building.

As a trauma and crime scene clean up technician, I use science to understand what materials can be saved, how to clean biohazards, and how to protect workers.

All aspects of the restoration industry, from simple carpet cleaning to complex fire damage losses, rely on solid science and an expert who understands it. My instinctual scientific nature leads me to be very good at what I do.
