PUDDLES RESTORATION IS AN IICRC TRIPLE MASTER
An IICRC Triple Master is a rare and elite status achieved by earning all three Master designations from the IICRC - Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (“IICRC”):
1) Master Water Restorer (“MWR”),
2) Master Fire and Smoke Restorer (“MSR”), and
3) Master Textile Cleaner (“MTC”).
The IICRC is a global organization with more than 49,000 active Certified Technicians and more than 6,500 Certified Firms around the world. Less than 3% of all IICRC technicians globally are Triple Master, which requires years of documented field experience and numerous prerequisite courses.
HOW DOES THIS BENEFIT YOU?
Continuing education benefits clients (i.e., you) by positioning PUDDLES to deliver up-to-date, safe, and effective services while bridging gaps between basic training and real-world, complex situations.
• Safer Practices: Continuing education reduces the risk of costly mistakes or outdated practices.
o For example, last year we stopped abruptly during a
project b/c we concluded it was too hot.
Last week, while performing an inspection on a property, a contractor for a different company suffered severe heat exhaustion that required medical (EMS) attention.
• New Solutions: Continuing education introduces modern research, tools, and evidence-based treatments that solve problems more efficiently.
o This has been a double-edged sword. As our
proficiency increased (obtaining the same results in
less time) we have received feedback similar to the
following:
“Why does it cost so much when it only took you so little time? It should have taken longer!”
• Personalized Service: Continuing education helps professionals formulate plans to each client’s unique traits or complex conditions.
o For example, the objective for any mold remediation is always the same, but how it is achieved can vary greatly depending on the facts and circumstances of each project.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE THREE MASTER TRACKS
Achieving Triple Master status means completing overlapping tiers of specialized technical courses and prerequisite Journeyman phases over a minimum of three years, combining classroom learning and certification with real hands-on work.
Achieving any IICRC Master status is rare, and becoming an IICRC Triple Master is even more so. It is the highest technical certification in the cleaning and restoration industry.
