Choosing a Certified Water Damage Restoration Company

Searching for a water damage restoration company sounds simple enough. Sure, there are many providers within your area, but not all of them are properly certified. So, what exactly constitutes a proper certification? The IICRC is the most commonly recognized form of certification there is. Every professional restoration company out there must have this symbol, which is the highest standard in the industry. This valuable seal literally separates the pros from the amateurs. You better believe it is that important!

What makes this certificate so special? For one thing, technicians are well trained and well versed in each aspect of the restoration business. The technician will be familiar with carpet cleaning, mold remediation, smoke restoration, and of course, water damage restoration. The IICRC remains in full compliance with the AMA, which follows all safety regulations. Cleaning up after mold damage is no simple task. The professional must understand how to correctly sanitize the affected areas so that you’re breathing clean air. They will make sure the mold doesn’t return as well.

There are several courses a person can take to qualify as a professional. Applicants can further their knowledge by taking continuing education courses. Reputable companies will not hire anyone who isn’t IICRC trained and certified. Beware any companies that refuse to show you their licensed certifications. They may be hiding a lot more than you may think. Make sure the company is kept current and up-to-date on their certification. Request to see the IICRC seal before hiring any company to perform any restoration work inside your house.
