Highly Trained Restoration Specialists

B.B. King once said, “The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you.” That is true to music, and also true to restoration work. Learning is what separates good restoration techs from poor ones. 

At SERVPRO of South Philadelphia / SE Delaware County we believe in the importance of training and growth. We hire the best and we train the best. Our technicians pursue certifications from the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification, popularly known as the IICRC, in restoration related topics like Water Damage Restoration, Applied Structural Drying, Fire and Smoke Restoration and Commercial Drying, amongst other topics. 

We also train our technicians in-house with a focus on mentoring and skill development. Our training program includes the following:
