With nearly 4.5 million U.S. homes in high or extreme risk of wildfire, it’s important to have the proper restoration certifications to give customers peace of mind during wildfire season. The IICRC offers a Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Technician certification within the restoration division.
As of July 2020, there have been 10 weather/climate disaster events with losses exceeding $1 billion in the US alone. Depending on the type of natural disaster faced, the remediation and cleanup from these events require specific care in order to maintain safety for those involved.
