DKI Member Company, United Services, Achieves CCRN Certification
(Wood Dale, IL) – Disaster Kleenup International, Inc., North America's largest disaster restoration contracting organization, today announced that United Services by Permaco, Inc., of North East, Illinois, and South East Wisconsin is now part of the Certified Contents Restoration Network (CCRN).
CCRN is a certification standards council responsible for establishing and monitoring standards for soft contents restoration. By achieving CCRN certification, United Services can employ the patented Esporta Wash System to restore and clean soft goods and laundry. This process cleans and removes soot, bacteria, mold, and other contaminants through hydraulic pressure. If used within a reasonable amount of time after a loss, it can recover approximately 85% of smoke-, soot- and water-damaged goods that would otherwise be considered non-restorable.
Susie Lund, Cleaning Division Manager of United Services, is pleased that United Services will be able to offer this level of quality and value to clients and customers. "Insurance companies that engage United Services see huge claims savings by paying for restoration cleaning versus full replacement value. Homeowners benefit by United Service's ability to recover their cherished items with a much quicker turnaround of their essential items."
United Services, a DKI Member company, is a full service restoration company and general contractor specializing in the cleaning and restoration of personal and commercial properties. They have provided excellence and professionalism in the North East, Illinois, and South East Wisconsin markets for over 27 years.
