IICRC Water Damage Restoration
Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)
IICRC S500-aligned Water Damage Restoration training — the foundational industry-recognized standard for residential and commercial water-loss work.
The IICRC is the recognized standards body for the restoration industry since 1972. Its S500 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Water Damage Restoration is referenced in nearly every homeowners insurance policy and adjuster scope in the United States. This 2016 certification covers Category 1/2/3 water classification, structural drying psychrometrics, content restoration, antimicrobial application, and post-restoration clearance verification. Every water damage job we run follows S500 protocols by default.
IICRC Fire & Smoke Restoration
Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)
IICRC S700-aligned Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration training — covering wet smoke, dry smoke, protein residue, and odor encapsulation.
The IICRC S700 Standard defines professional fire and smoke damage restoration. This 2016 certification covers identifying smoke residue types (wet, dry, protein, fuel-oil, fingerprint), HEPA vacuuming, soot-specific cleaning chemistry, thermal fogging and hydroxyl/ozone deodorization, HVAC decontamination, and content pack-out and restoration. After any fire we follow the S700 sequence from board-up through final clearance.
Goldmorr AIM Mycotoxin Remediation
Goldmorr Systems
Goldmorr AIM (Antimicrobial Injection Method) mycotoxin remediation — non-destructive mold remediation including mycotoxin neutralization.
Goldmorr is an advanced mold and mycotoxin remediation system from Australia that addresses what conventional IICRC S520 work often misses: residual mycotoxins left behind after the visible mold is gone. The AIM method uses a multi-stage fog-and-injection protocol that penetrates porous materials, neutralizes mycotoxins at the molecular level, and is verified by post-treatment ELISA mycotoxin testing. We use Goldmorr on chronic-exposure cases, health-affected households, and HVAC contamination jobs where standard remediation is not enough.
Certified EZ Breathe Installer
EZ Breathe Ventilation System
Completed the EZ Breathe Installation Success Training Class — certified installer of EZ Breathe basement and crawl-space ventilation systems.
EZ Breathe is a patented basement and crawl-space ventilation system that removes excess moisture, allergens, mold spores, radon, and VOCs from the lowest level of the home. As certified installers, we are trained in proper sizing, placement, and integration with water-damage restoration and mold remediation work. We frequently install EZ Breathe as the final preventive step after a water or mold job so the conditions that created the problem can't return.
Stego Vapor Barrier Installation & ASTM E1643
Stego Industries
Completed the Stego Industries continuing education program on vapor barrier installation and the ASTM E1643 standard for below-slab vapor retarders — the encapsulation system that prevents mold-feeding moisture migration into finished space.
Stego Industries is the leading US manufacturer of below-slab and crawl-space vapor barrier systems (Stego Wrap). For our restoration work, vapor barriers are a critical mold-prevention tool: water vapor migrating up through soil into a basement or crawl-space slab is one of the most common sources of chronic basement humidity, peeling paint, efflorescence, and the hidden moisture that feeds mold growth on the room side of the wall. This Stego continuing education program (May 20, 2026, presented by Dayne Dietrich) covered the ASTM E1643 standard — the industry specification for selection, design, installation, and inspection of water-vapor retarders used under concrete slabs in contact with earth or granular fill. We install Stego encapsulation systems as part of post-water-damage restoration and as a preventive layer in crawl-space mold remediation across Fairfield County and Westchester County.
