What is the IICRC?

The IICRC is a nonprofit agency which has developed quality standards and certification for businesses involved in inspection, cleaning and restoration services.

IICRC established the standards for professional restoration services

As an ANSI-accredited Standards Developing Organization (SDO), the IICRC has led the way in establishing the main industry standards and reference guides for professional water damage restoration and mold remediation.

Each IICRC standard takes years to develop and the coordination of several experts in the field, including allied tradespersons; manufacturers; international, national and regional trade associations; individual or franchise professionals; cleaning, inspection and restoration industry organizations; insurance industry; training schools; contractors and public health professionals.

IICRC standards are reviewed and updated at least every five years. Specialized fields like water damage restoration change rapidly, so those who are certified must take ongoing classes to keep up with the advancement of the science and generally accepted practices of the industry.

IICRC standards help to protect health in both homes and businesses

Environmental Protection Agency states that the average person spends 90 percent or more of their time indoors, where levels of pollutants may be at least two to five times higher than outdoor levels.

That means it is extremely important to perform regular maintenance inside your home and/or business. Using a certified technician for water damage restoration will ensure that your home or business will remain healthy for those who live and work at the property.
