Water Technician, Ricky Painter, recently completed his certification class for IICRC (The Institute for Cleaning and Restoration Certification). VRS is thrilled that all their professionals meet the standards set forth by the IIRC. Great job, Ricky!

VRS educates their employees because restoring your home to its pre loss condition is a complex and challenging process. IICRC educates restoration firms in specific restoration services as well as health and safety training. IICRC teaches the newest techniques and technology. VRS wants their professionals to continue to learn the industries best practices. It is our mission to provide the special attention that the consumer needs when restoring or rebuilding their home.

Continued learning is an important part of the job descriptions of VRS employees. The project managers and technicians take full advantage of attending courses and certification programs to further their craft. At VRS we know that furthering our eduation helps us to exceed our goal in providing our clients with the speical attention that they deserve.

VRS’ Project Manager, Everett Phillips and Emergancy Services Manager, Ryan Phillips recently attended the Reets Drying Academy.  Reets Drying Academy gave Everett and Ryan a chance to further their knowlede in restoration services. The academy gave them the oportunity to learn how to inspect, evaluate, dry, administer, and manage larger losses. Instruction on damage inspection and evalutaion, work flow managment, process administration and technical methods of effective and timely drying of commercial, industrial, institutional and complex residentioal water-damaged structers, systems, furniture, fitures and equipment (FFE). Everett and Ryan took the specialized training to maximize the TES system, which is the ‘World’s Fastest Drying System”. Learning this system was a must for Everett and Ryan as our drying professionals.  We can now dry a water damage job in a THIRD of the time of our competitiors. Read more about the TES system in Tuesay’s (7/6/10) post!

TES, the latest in drying technology, dries most water damages in 30 hours or less! TES utilizes the “Reets Evaporation Method,” which forces a high volume of heat direction to the water-saturated area, rapidly evaporating the water. The vapor is then eliminated with air evacuation/dehumidificaiton. All this boils down to: real dry, real fast. That means less dmage, and LESS MONEY LOST!

Drying fast is not just convenient; it’s critical! Drying water-damaged homes and businesses is important! The longer it takes to dry a water damaged building, the more expenses and damages increase. For example; mold, floor and wall warpage, out of home costs, and other repairs increase as the sturcture remains wet. Speed drying a water damaged structure eliminates or greatly reduces these damages and expenses. Conventional drying can take 3 to 5 days, which would include extraction, air movement, and dehumidification. With the TES system; drying takes 30 hours or LESS!

Advantages of TES:

• Dry carpet/carpt cushion in place, saving carpet cushion replacement.
• Dry the walls, sill plates, and wall caities without removing the wall boards.
• Dry hardwoods, substrates, tile and concrete with non-destructive tenting.
• Prevent mold, rot and decay from prolonged soaking.
• Negative pressure air-flow allows inhabitants to live or work in unaffected areas of home or business.
• Inconvience and out-of-home expenses are eliminated or greatly reduced.
• Drying without demolition-saves labor, hauling, replacement and repair.

VIRGINIA RESTORATION SERVICES has invested in this new technology and equipment. We’ll  DESERT DRY in RECORD TIME!
