6/8/2020 (Permalink)

All of our technicians go through extensive training to be IICRC certified.

What does it mean to be an IICRC Firm? 

SERVPRO of South Cobb is an IICRC firm. For those wondering, IICRC stands for The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration. The IICRC has created the standards for the restoration industry by providing training and certification to cleaning and restoration companies. You can tell if a company is IICRC certified by the certified logo badge on any restoration business website. When choosing a restortion contractor we recommend second-guessing using any business that is not displaying an IICRC badge because they most likely do not have the next level training to handle all restoration services. 

What do certified IICRC Firms guarantee?

When we decided to become an IICRC certified firm we choose to: 

• Always present accurate information to our customers 
• Always conduct business with honesty and integrity
• Always have a certified technician on site 
• Always continue education for our staff so that they know the latest industry trends
• Always obtain the highest level of insurance to protect all parties 
• Always Adhere to the IICRC’s code of ethics 

The IICRC Standards 

The IICRC offers many certifications that help create industry standards for many restoration and commercial cleaning companies. The IICRC standards have multiple certifications that take years to develop and obtain. 

IICRC Restoration Certifications:

• water damage restoration technician (wrt)
• applied structural drying technician (asd)
• water damage restoration technician and applied structural drying technician combination course (wrt/asd)
• fire and smoke restoration technician (fsrt)
• health and safety technician (hst)
• building moisture thermography (bmt)
• applied microbial remediation technician (amrt)
• commercial drying specialist (cds)

These certifications are specific for restoration companies. The IICRC has commercial cleaning training and certifications as well. Their cleaning certifications include best practices for commercial and residential cleaning and certifications on how to clean different floors. 

Staying On Top of Education 

Every five years, our SERVPRO technicians have to renew and update their certifications. The reason that it is every five years is that the standards are reviewed and updated by the IICRC. Water, fire, and mold damage restoration techniques are changing rapidly. In the past year, we have seen rapid changes in technology and science; being on top has been a key driver to our success. To obtain a certification, an individual must attend an IICRC-approved course and complete a written examination. The certified individual cannot get the certification if they can’t document skills in the specific subject that they would like to become certified.
