You’ll want to know about this, it will assure your expertise to your customers.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) are two agencies that have developed and created the common industry-approved standards, language, terminology and procedures to guide the overall and complete cleaning, inspection and restriction of any water, fire or loss project for repairs at a residential or commercial property.
The IICRC offer specialized training and instruction on a variety of restoration and remediation topics, such as:
• Water Damage Restoration
• Fire and Smoke Restoration
• Odor Control
• Disaster Restoration Techniques
• Trauma Scene Restoration
• Restorative Drying Techniques
• Upholstery, Fabrics and Carpet Cleaning
• Microbial Remediation
The training and protocols review the standards to safely and properly restore a residential or commercial property after a loss. Understanding and utilizing these standards on your restoration and remediation project jobs for customers assures them that you have the seal of approval. It is the reason that your business and team of technicians are highly trained in your field of restoration or remediation (or both), and that you are trained to manage all aspects of the repairs in the best possible scenarios in regards to materials, resources and safety of everyone concerned.
These standards and guidelines make the restoration process safer for the homeowner or the businesses owner before, during and after the restoration process begins the cleanup and repair projects on the property after a loss. When a professional restoration company follows ANSI and IICRC guidelines, your customer will know that the team working to restore their property is highly qualified to get the job done right the first time out.
For example, with a fire damage loss event, there will also be water damage involved in most cases. This could be as a result of the firefighters putting out the fire at the loss location, and there may be water damage to other areas of the home, or other floors if in an apartment or commercial building that sustained multiple area losses in fact. Professional restoration companies that follow IICRC guidelines will remediate the damage in a way that protects the health and safety of all residents, workers or occupants and will work to restore the property to where the customer will not know in the end that a fire or water damage loss ever took place in that location.
