Wondering Whether Certain Certifications Make A Difference?

A lot of companies can try to grab your attention with flashy ads and super cheap pricing. 

Hopefully, we don't need to remind you that you really do get what you pay for.



Sometimes you'll see a bunch of letters next to a company name or logo.  When it comes to the business of cleaning and restoration, sometimes, the last thing you want to do is try and decipher things that look like they belong in a Dan Brown novel.

For Example: IICRC

Have you ever seen this one?  If you have then it means you were looking at a very good company.  So what does IICRC mean?



The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) has served as the Industry Guardian for the cleaning, inspection and restoration service industries for more than 30 years. As a non-profit certification organization, the IICRC helps ensure that you have access to trusted and trained cleaning professionals by establishing and monitoring certification programs and standards for these industries.

To qualify for IICRC-Certified Firm status businesses must demonstrate proof of insurance, maintain a written customer complaint policy with documented follow-up and provide ongoing education and training leading to certification for all technicians. IICRC Certified Firms are also required to abide by the IICRC Code of Ethics. Services provided by IICRC–Certified professionals range from flooring inspection and cleaning to mold remediation to water and fire damage restoration. 

As an IICRC firm, Steamatic of St. Louis continues to meet all industry standards and never stops exceeding our clients expectations.
