FOR PROPERTY MAINTENANCE TECHS
You See the Leaks First. Learn What to Do Next.
Apartment and building maintenance techs handle more water damage than almost anyone. Turn that experience into a skill, a side business, or your own company.
Why maintenance techs have a head start

- You know property managers, the best referral source in this business.
- You already have the hands-on skills for demo and repairs.
Start the right way
If you still work for a property, keep it clean: don’t take side work from your employer’s properties without their OK.

Learn the documentation, drying and billing side, and you’ll know more than most new restoration owners.
