If you get sick, you go to a trained medical professional to get back to your optimal health. If something happens to your home or business, don’t leave restoration up to chance. Count on trusted, certified restoration professionals to handle any property damage, from flooding to mold to fire. Finding the right professional means finding the right help that adheres to the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification standards.
What Is IICRC?
For nearly 40 decades, this nonprofit has globally become an industry leader for setting standards and certifying technicians. To achieve a mitigation certificate, technicians take specialized classes on standards and techniques and are required to pass an exam to ensure your safety. Afterward, they maintain certification through ongoing training. Areas of certification include:
Cleaning – Subspecialties include carpeting, flooring, leather cleaning, masonry, upholstery, rugs, and general cleaning. This includes the appropriate cleaners, dwelling times, and specialized methods per standards regulations.
Inspection – Technicians are trained to inspect all types of flooring, including wood, marble, laminate, tiles, carpet, and stone.
Restoration – This training focuses on techniques for microbial remediation, structural drying, fire and smoke damage, odor, water damage, commercial drying, and health and safety.
Why Training Matters
The lingering effects of water, smoke, and fire damage can cause further problems and create unpleasant environments. When a storm happens or a fire breaks out, you want to fix it and forget it. SERVPRO® prides itself on having IICRC certified professionals, as well as provides its own training to ensure every franchise has professionals to handle any disaster. Along with learning the best techniques, they are also trained on using innovative equipment to ensure that mold, smoke, water, or other damage is eradicated. Our ongoing franchise training means that no matter what you are facing, we can make it “Like it never even happened.”
While some situations may seem like they can be taken care of on their own, some damage to a property can remain hidden and untouched if not addressed properly can lead to serious conditions. Instead of hoping for the best, get the best to ensure your property is back in pristine condition without any worry.
