We at SERVPRO of Richmond and SERVPRO of Henrico strive to provide the best possible service that we can to our customers, and that’s why our employees are IICRC certified! But what does IICRC certification mean and why is it important for you?

IICRC is The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification. This sets the standard for the cleaning and restoration industries. There are many different courses our technicians study:

• Applied Structural Drying Technician (ASD) – This course teaches technicians how to dry out water damaged structures as efficiently and effectively as possible using state of the art monitoring, extraction, and drying equipment.
• Carpet Cleaning Technician (CCT) – This course covers fabric identification, cleaning chemicals, pre-inspection, and the proper cleaning techniques for both residential and commercial applications
• Applied Microbial Remediation Technician (AMRT) – Technicians learn how to perform mold and sewage remediation techniques while making sure the health and safety of workers and occupants is protected
• Fire and Smoke Restoration Technician (FSRT) – In this class technicians learn about the different types of smoke and fire damage, cleaning procedures and odor/deodorization.
• Odor Control Technician (OCT) – Here technicians learn techniques to mitigate and remediate odors caused by sources like mold, smoke, urine, decomposition and more.
• Upholstery and Fabric Cleaning Technician (UFT) – This class covers fiber identification and cleaning methods as well as how to identify issues such as shrinking, bleeding, crowning, or distorting before they occur
• Water Damage Restoration Technician (WRT) – Technicians learn to deal with sewer backflows, water losses, and contamination such as mold, as well as how water damage can affect the structures of both residential and commercial buildings

These classes and certifications mean that SERVPRO has the knowledge to make your commercial or residential loss “Like it never even happened.”
