Property Restoration Training School, Puroclean Academy, Receives Top Industry Approval From Iicrc

PuroClean Academy, the training school of the nation's fastest growing property emergency services company, has earned Approved School status from The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC).

More than 300 PuroClean franchise owners across the country now have access to a variety of IICRC approved courses at the company's headquarters in Tamarac, FL, where technicians can turn for IICRC approved training and certification in the categories of Water Damage Restoration, Fire and Smoke Restoration, Odor Control, Carpet Cleaning, and Color Repair.

"The IICRC S500 certification is the Cadillac of designations in the cleaning and restoration industry," said John Capponi, CR, PuroClean's Vice President of Operations. "Our training processes for franchise owners and technicians have always been in accordance with the industry's highest standards, but now we're able to proudly display the official IICRC Certification Mark to represent our level of commitment to service excellence." PuroClean franchise owners and technicians who attain IICRC certification will be in alliance with the highest industry standards in all areas of the restoration business, from documenting and monitoring services and performance to maintaining proper invoicing procedures.

"IICRC certified professionals are highly respected by their customers and industry peers," said Mike Reed, IICRC Instructors and Schools Committee Chairman.

In conjunction with securing IICRC approval for its training school, PuroClean will break ground in late February on a new Applied Structural Drying (ASD) Demonstration Facility. The new facility will include a classroom, as well as a state-of-the-science flood house, where all franchise owners and their employees will receive practical application of IICRC guidelines in applied structural drying and smoke and soot remediation, within a controlled environment.

The ASD facility will also be used for the research and development of new equipment and demonstrations to insurance industry professionals interested in increasing their competency and capabilities in property restoration. Construction on the facility is set to be completed later this summer.
