The Accuserve Flood House: Hundreds of Water Catastrophes, Thousands of Happy Students

What’s the best way to learn how to mitigate a catastrophic water loss? You can read about it, watch videos, or even flood your own basement (we don’t recommend it 😊). However, nothing can replace being in the situation to dry a real flooded house, learn from the best experts in the industry, and ultimately get your IICRC certifications. IICRC is the Institute for Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certifications.

At Accuserve, we’ve built all Flood House training facilities to reflect real-world homes to give you true-to-life training as you help mitigate a catastrophic water loss using the industry’s latest drying technology, guided by industry experts.

These IICRC-approved ASD (Applied Structural Damage) training centers are completely furnished homes built over a concrete slab foundation using various common building materials. The only thing “different” about this 1,800 square-foot home from those you work in every day is that it has a classroom attached.

1500 Gallons of Water Dried in Four Days

We’ve simulated hundreds of catastrophic water losses by flooding them with over 1,500 gallons of water. Water will rain from the first floor into the finished basement and crawlspace. We then seal the home for 36 hours in an 85-degree environment to create a “terrarium effect.” This is the worst-case scenario for any homeowner. Despite that, all affected materials will be dried and saved.

We have trained thousands of contractors, adjusters, and employees. Each learned the best practices for evaluating the damage and developing a restoration strategy based on the type of affected materials, weather, and even where the loss site is located in the country.

“I can’t begin to tell you how much I learned from your class. This has been the most beneficial training I have received in a very long time. Please share with your staff my appreciation of the time and energy dedicated to making sure we felt welcome and at the same time learned more than imaginable.” said Ellen W., one of the training participants.
