The Center for Advanced Restorative Drying (CARD)
Professional Education Facility
Dri-Eaz hosts every Applied Structural Drying (ASD) course in one of our two cutting-edge facilities for
education-the Center for Advanced Restorative Drying (CARD) on our Burlington, WA campus or the Dri-Eaz Southeast Operations Center in Nashville, TN.
The CARD - Burlington, WA
We built and opened the CARD in 1999. After several decades of teaching water damage restoration at local Dri-Eaz Sales Partner locations, we were ecstatic
to have such an incredible on-site facility. We've since flooded it hundreds of times for training and research. ASD students and Dri-Eaz engineers
removed over 130,000 gallons of water from the CARD in its first two years alone!

and a 1300 sq.ft. flood house (modeled after the CARD) just outside the main building. Students at Dri-Eaz SE get valuable experience by practicing on
an actual loss exposed to the exterior elements.
