to trusted and trained cleaning professionals by establishing and
monitoring certification programs and standards for these industries.

Emergency Safety tips for you and your customers
Nothing
is more upsetting to your customers than water or fire damage. As a
result of the recent flooding disaster, their home or office may look
like a river ran through it. Carpet, upholstery, hard flooring and
structural components appear to be ruined. Restoring the property after
water damage can be a challenge.
ServiceMaster All Care Restoration and the IICRC suggests taking the following initial steps to restore your home or office:
* Stay away from contaminated water or electrical hazards
*
If safe to do so, turn off circuit breakers supplying electricity to
the wet area and unplug and remove small appliances from wet rooms
* Move furniture or raise on blocks to prevent moisture absorption and staining
The
IICRC recommends you do not attempt to treat the water damage yourself,
but hire a certified water restoration firm such as ServiceMaster All
Care Restoration; that employs professionals trained to assess and
repair damage caused by the water. They can also locate hidden damage
to ceilings, walls and contents caused by moisture in structural
components.
