Generally, water damage restoration in Dunedin FL involves restoring a property back to pre-loss condition after sustaining any level of water damage. While there are currently no government regulations in the United States dictating procedures, two large certifying bodies, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and the Restoration Industry Association (RIA), do recommend standards of care by establishing and monitoring certification programs and standards for restoration industries.
To qualify for IICRC-Certified Firm status businesses must demonstrate proof of insurance, maintain a written customer complaint policy with documented follow-up and provide ongoing education and training leading to certification for all technicians. IICRC Certified Firms are also required to abide by the IICRC Code of Ethics. Services provided by IICRC–Certified professionals range from flooring inspection and cleaning to mold remediation to water and fire damage restoration.
The RIA is dedicated to providing industry leadership, supporting science, and promoting best practices in the cleaning and restoration industry. RIA members must adopt and abide by the RIA Code of Ethics. Services provided by RIA-certified professionals include property damage restoration, remediation and cleaning services.
Certification by either the IICRC or RIA ensures that the public have access to trusted and trained cleaning professionals.
