“We are excited about the increase in registrations over the past year and are also encouraged by the fact that more cleaning and restoration firms and technicians are seeing value in participating in the IICRC’s programs,” IICRC President Ruth Travis said. “To see the growth in the number of IICRC certified firms is especially gratifying.”
