As I sat at lunch with a restoration contractor, the familiar story unfolded: “I did the Cat 3 water loss according to the IICRC S500 and the adjuster only wants to pay me for a Cat 2 loss.
Every IICRC-certified water damage restoration contractor knows Category 3 water is classified as Category 3 because it is grossly contaminated with fungi, bacteria or other pollutants.
During a meeting of the IICRC board of directors in
Florida following the Connections Conference and Exhibition, two new schools
and six new instructors were approved to teach restoration- related
certification classes.
