Highly Qualified Remediation Experts
IRS employs a staff of over 50 full-time professionals. Division heads are at the top of their fields with many years of professional experience. Their supervisory staff and field teams are seasoned veterans with years of experience in their respective divisions. Almost all are cross trained to be able to work other scenarios with expertise. As employee turnover is minimal it is a fact that many of our employees, from management to office staff to field workers average many years each with the company. It is that strength of organization that our clients have come to depend upon.
Emergency Response and Mitigation Equipment and Technology
Emergency remediation equipment is the backbone of this company. We currently have over 30 vehicles and hundreds of pieces of specialized equipment. Our vehicles and equipment have evolved over the years so that many vehicles are designed for specific purposes. Our equipment inventory makes us proud. We are always looking to improve the quality of our emergency response and restoration apparatus. Equipment is constantly updated, serviced and kept clean so that any response can be handled immediately and without hesitation. Bad equipment is bad management, something to which we do not subscribe.
