Highly Trained Restoration Specialists

At SERVPRO of West Hills we believe that the better trained our team is in both the techniques and skills of disaster restoration the better we serve our community. In this way we believe there is a one to one correlation between our investment in training and the quality of our work — we don’t cut corners.

The organization that regulates the continuing education world for disaster restoration is the IICRC. They set the standard for our work.

In their words, “The mission of the IICRC is to establish and advance globally recognized standards and certifications for the inspection, cleaning, restoration and installation industries.”

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).

Addressing water, fire, or mold damage in residential and commercial buildings in the greater West Hills area, including Edgeworth, Coraopolis, Neville Township and Robinson Township requires skilled technicians.
