Texas Certificate of Appliance-Related Water Damage Remediation is a certification program offered by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (DLR). The certification is designed to ensure that individuals and companies who work with water-damaged appliances are properly trained and qualified. The program covers the proper procedures for assessing, repairing, and restoring water-damaged appliances. It also covers the proper use of products and equipment for the remediation of water-damaged appliances. The program is divided into two levels of certification: the Basic Certificate of Appliance-Related Water Damage Remediation and the Advanced Certificate of Appliance-Related Water Damage Remediation. Both certifications require the completion of a training course and the successful completion of a written exam. The Basic Certificate of Appliance-Related Water Damage Remediation requires the completion of a 16-hour training course covering topics such as water damage assessment, appliance repair and restoration, and the proper use of products and equipment. The Advanced Certificate of Appliance-Related Water Damage Remediation requires the completion of a 32-hour training course covering more advanced topics such as mold remediation, disaster preparedness, and safety practices. Once certified, individuals can provide water damage remediation and restoration services in Texas.
