Check out the September 2019 edition of Restoration & Remediation: Cannabis odor removal, the Death of 3-Day Drying part II, packouts, contents cleaning and much more!
The emergence of a post-prohibition cannabis industry has begun, and with it the rapid opportunity for restoration pros to respond to property management’s need for odor elimination and other environmental services.
Over the last few years, contents cleaning and restoration has become an important service for restoration and remediation contractors to provide. Not only can it be profitable, it also offers contractors the opportunity to set themselves apart from their competitors.
Professionals in the restoration and remediation industry have seen a great deal of change over the years. However, a lack of financing sources or partners to the industry has seemingly remained constant.
The Restoration Industry Association (RIA) is riding a powerful wave after its 2019 Convention in Phoenix, which had the highest attendance of any of its conventions in five years.
According to Gallup, only 33% of employees are engaged at work. Based on OC Tanner research, 79% of employees who quit their jobs claim that a lack of appreciation was a major reason for leaving.
Sometimes knowing what not to do can be the most valuable information a person, or in this case a business, can have in their toolbox.

What would you think if I told you that it would take three months to dry out a building after a fire loss? If I posted this on LinkedIn or Facebook, my comment screen would probably say things like “learn to dry a structure!” or “you’re the worst restorer ever! I can dry it in a few days.”
In a market where labor is in short supply for all departments, it’s the production side of the house that needs some focused attention. The attention I’m referring to doesn’t mean tossing a few dollars at any of the online job boards, as helpful as they may be.
The Restoration Industry Association (RIA) is stronger than it has been in decades, and now it is leading the charge to transform the industry as its chief advocate on the front lines.
The IICRC will present a Standards Track during the upcoming Experience Convention & Trade Show, Sept. 18-20, in Las Vegas. The series of presentations will focus on five IICRC Standards – the S100, S500, S520, S540 and S550 – and will review how to use them as well as highlight critical information in each.
