Highly Trained Restoration Specialists

At SERVPRO of Oakville / Mehlville we believe in training and education. It's our aim that our disaster response team would be the best in the city. That’s our commitment.

The disaster restoration field requires unique skills and techniques that differ from general re-construction. To approach disaster restoration without proper training in remediation is to be grossly unprepared. 

The organization that regulates the certification and continuing education world for disaster restoration is the IICRC. The IICRC sets the base line and standard for emergency restoration work.

This is how the IICRC understands their mission: to “advance standards” and “establish certifications” for the restoration world and related industries.

Because we are committed to a trained staff our team members receive in-team mentoring and IICRC certifications in Water Damage Restoration, Applied Structural Drying, Fire and Smoke Restoration and Commercial Drying (among other topics).
