Doctors have the American Medical Association, attorneys have the American Bar Association, and water damage restoration professionals have the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (or IICRC).

When you have a water damage in your Springfield home or business, your emotions can range from frustrated to absolutely frantic. You may be thinking to hire the first person you can find with a 'shop vac' to take care of the damage - however, it's important to have an IICRC Certified Firm like SERVPRO of Cheatham, Robertson and Dickson Counties take care of the damage. Each one of our technicians is a certified water damage restoration technician (WRT), and each one of our production managers is certified in applied structural drying as well (ASD). 

Why It Matters

Because SERVPRO of Cheatham, Robertson and Dickson Counties is an IICRC certified firm - we handle all water damages in accordance with the ANSI/IICRC S500 Water Damage Restoration Standard. This ensures that you will receive outstanding, technically correct service, every time.

The explanation below from the IICRC's website describes the benefits of using an IICRC Certified Firm. 

"More than just removing excess water, IICRC-certified restorers have the knowledge and equipment to further dry a home or facility (including substructure materials) completely back to pre-loss conditions. Through timely response and the careful monitoring of water damage, mold and other health issues can be prevented. If water damage has been present too long, mold will occur.

All IICRC-certified professionals have the training and experience to identify moisture sources, evaluate mold growth (visible or suspected), contain damage, remove contamination and dry materials to ensure that mold will not return."

If your property suffers a water damage, be sure to call the Certified Professionals at SERVPRO of Cheatham, Robertson and Dickson Counties at (615) 672-1905.
