Restoration Certifications & Industry Standards
Water damage mitigation is an exact science governed by strict physics, biology, and chemistry. We hold the industry’s most prestigious technical certifications to guarantee safe, thorough, and insurance-approved results for every Michigan property we serve.
ANSI / IICRC S500 Standard of Care
The ANSI/IICRC S500 is the procedural gold standard across the restoration industry. It governs the science of psychrometrics, defining Category 1 (clean), Category 2 (gray), and Category 3 (black) water losses, Class 1–4 drying environments, and daily monitoring requirements.
- Mandatory moisture mapping and psychrometric calculations
- Controlled containment of contaminated spaces
- Scientific verification of dry standard before equipment removal
ANSI / IICRC S520 Mold Remediation
The S520 establishes strict containment protocols for fungal contamination. It dictates engineering controls, negative air machine placement, HEPA filtration standards, and safe removal of microbial growth without cross-contaminating unaffected living areas.
- Negative air pressure containment with 0.3-micron HEPA filtration
- Physical removal of fungal colonies over cosmetic cover-ups
- Independent third-party post-remediation clearance testing (PRV)
EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm
Many homes in Michigan built prior to 1978 contain lead-based paint. When water damage requires cutting drywall or removing trim, disturbing lead paint creates hazardous toxic dust. Our certified technicians follow strict EPA containment and HEPA vacuuming standards.
- Lead testing on pre-1978 residential structures
- Plastic sheeting containment and negative air exhaust
- Certified HEPA vacuuming and wet wipe clearance verification
OSHA 10 & 30 Workplace Safety
Every field supervisor holds active OSHA certification. We maintain stringent protocols for confined space entry (crawl spaces), electrical hazard avoidance in flooded basements, bloodborne pathogen handling, and respiratory protection programs.
- Strict lock-out/tag-out electrical hazard protocols in standing water
- Level 3 personal protective equipment (PPE) on biohazard sewage calls
- Confined space atmospheric testing for crawl spaces and utility shafts
Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) Compliance
All mitigation, structural stabilization, and reconstruction activities across Michigan adhere strictly to state residential building codes and Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) hazardous waste discharge guidelines:
State General Liability & Workers Comp
We carry $2,000,000+ commercial general liability and comprehensive workers’ compensation insurance to protect homeowners and commercial property managers.
EGLE Wastewater Compliance
All extracted Category 2 and 3 wastewater is disposed of strictly in accordance with Michigan EGLE sanitary disposal guidelines, protecting Michigan waterways.
EPA Antimicrobial Registration
Every sanitizer, fungicide, and disinfectant fogger we apply is registered with the EPA and proven non-toxic to children and pets upon dry clearance.
