Our employees have the right IICRC certifications so they can take the best care of your property.

In a world filled with misinformation and fake news, it can be a genuine challenge, and a real headache, to make an informed decision. This can exacerbate the natural sense of panic if your business has suffered a significant disaster, such as storm or fire damage. Fortunately, there is a credible institution dedicated to ensuring that restoration companies in Boca Raton, FL use trained technicians and abide by its rigorous protocols: the IICRC.

What Is the IICRC? 

The Independent Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification was founded in 1972 to prevent fraud and increase the quality of service provided by disaster restoration agencies. It offers a number of classes in restoration technology, including:

• Fire restoration
• Water restoration
• Carpet and upholstery cleaning
• Applied structure drying.
  

The goal of the organization is to create uniform standards and develop easy-to-understand, industry-accepted language to make clear what damage has been done, specify the steps needed to prevent further harm to a property and ensure the customer knows exactly what he or she is getting. All certificate requirements are set by a board of directors with extensive experience in the industry. While certification is voluntary, most insurance experts strongly recommend working with an established restoration company with an active mitigation certificate. 

Where Can You Find IICRC-Certified Technicians?

SERVPRO is one of the few organizations approved to offer these classes, including continuing education credits. Most insurance companies consider SERVPRO to be their preferred vendor in all forms of physical disaster restoration. Key to this designation is that its franchises have strong connections to the local community, while having full access to national resources and top techniques for damage remediation.
If your business has had a disaster, acting fast will reduce further damage along with the time your business isn’t at full capacity. SERVPRO can help you understand the insurance process and immediately take the steps necessary to mitigate deterioration. Its emergency response team is thoroughly trained in the most cutting-edge techniques that can save money and reduce downtime.
