RRT Carpet Repair and Reinstallation coming to the Restoration Technical Institute

Carpet Repair and Reinstallation and the IICRC S-600

Are you keeping up to date on what’s happening at the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC)? Do you know what the S600 is all about? If not. Let me enlighten you. The ANSI/IICRC S600 Standard and Reference Guide will cover both Residential and Commercial Carpet Installations.

Mark Violand will be at the Restoration Technical Institute on September 24-25, 2013 teaching the Institute (IICRC) Carpet Repair and Reinstallation Course. I have to admit. I took this course about two years ago with one interest in mind. I needed this course to complete my Master certifications. On completion of this course it is in my opinion that every Owner, Manager, and Technician should attend this class. Water losses might have to have the carpet disengaged. What two tools are required for proper carpet disengagement? Why does carpet delaminate? Can it be repaired?

Mark uses this joke in his class. “I did not use a power stretcher because there was no electricity” Unless I have been misinformed, I don’t know of a power stretcher that is plugged in. You will be amazed as to how many carpets are only being installed with just a carpet kicker. Did you know you can look at the back of the carpet and tell if the carpet was installed with a power stretcher or not? How many carpets are being installed with no seam sealer? Learn to identify pre-existing conditions. As restorers and carpet cleaners we should always be looking for pre-existing conditions prior to commencing work. This then leads me to what class is being offered next. Are you looking for pre-existing conditions before you begin a carpet extraction?

Mark will also be here on September 26-27, 2013 as the instructor for the IICRC Carpet Cleaning Technician class. Why not send your technicians to both of these classes?
