PUROCLEAN® COMMEMORATES 100TH FLOOD IN STATE-OF-THE-ART TRAINING FACILITY As a leader in emergency services for residential and commercial buildings, PuroClean takes franchise owner training seriously. The company provides franchise owners and their team members with real-life, practical instruction in restoration and remediation. Training involves evaluation of water losses, water extraction, inspections, implementation of drying systems, and observation and documentation of job progress. Last month, PuroClean celebrated the 100th flooding of its Applied Structural Drying facility, also known as the flood house, which is approved by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification. The flood house opened in February 2011. Since then, more than 480,000 gallons of water have poured into the 1,200-square-foot structure. The single-family, multilevel home has a fully functioning kitchen, a crawl space, living rooms, bedrooms, and furnishings. Training at the house provides franchise owners with the knowledge and expertise needed to perform high-quality restoration services for their customers. “In celebrating the 100th flood, we recognize the achievements within the science of drying, the skills it takes to mitigate a flood efficiently, and the certifications necessary to live up to PuroClean’s standards,” says Steve White, the company’s president and chief operating officer.
