Highly Trained Restoration Specialists
Why is hiring a certified technician important?
The IICRC serves as a independent, certification body, that sets and promotes high standards and ethics, and advances communication and technical proficiency within the inspection, cleaning and restoration industries. The certification sets standards for the entire restoration industry. Simply put, standards work. Standards are created to find the best possible method of performing a specific task. The methods are presented by industry experts, debated, agreed upon through consensus, and reviewed extensively by industry peers to ensure they are fair and work as intended. Standards ensure the method of cleaning, restoration, or inspection being performed is in fact the best and most effective option. They reduce redundancy, errors, time spent on a job, and costs.
