RIA sits at the intersection of a long-standing tradition of best practice, the best industry education for existing members, and preparing our newest and youngest members for a life of success.

Congratulations to the RIA members pinned at this year's International Restoration Convention and Industry Expo! 

The Restoration Industry Association, Inc. (RIA) and the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) announce a strategic partnership to enable each organization to focus on its core mission and which will help elevate knowledge and professionalism within the industry.

The Florida Senate approved an overhaul of the insurance practice known as assignment of benefits, or AOB, and Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a statement saying he will sign it. AOB has been a highly controversial issue in recent years, with insurers arguing that litigation and fraud involving the practice are driving up property insurance premiums.

The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) is seeking volunteers to serve on consensus bodies for the development of a new Standard, the BSR/IICRC S900 Standard for Professional Remediation of Illicit Drugs, Cannabis and Nicotine Residue.

San Diego, California may not be the first city that comes to mind when you think of the restoration industry. A dry desert climate, surfing and the Pacific Ocean typically come to mind first. In the small East San Diego County town of Lakeside, best known for its rodeo and small town charm, the first meeting for The Restoration Association was held on March 21st, 2018.

Interested in furthering your career? The IICRC offers dozens of certifications, including a new Trauma and Crime Scene Technician (TCST) course, as well as advanced designation.

Join RIA at the 2019 International Restoration Convention + Industry Expo in Phoenix and connect with fellow restoration industry professionals. There are three different breakout session tracks to ensure you get the most out of the event.
