The 6 Best Employee Training Software for Restoration Businesses in 2025
You can teach someone how to operate complex restoration equipment. But how do you teach them to care about the details at 3 a.m. when they’re called out to a flooded job site?
That’s the challenge restoration owners talk about behind closed doors. You don’t just need employees who know what to do—you need people who do things the right way, every time, even when no one’s watching.

Workflows: The Fastest Way to Build Standardized Training That Sticks
Starting a new job should feel exciting—a fresh start, a chance to learn, grow, and contribute.
You expect structured training, clear guidance, and a solid understanding of how to do the job right. But unfortunately, all too often you're just handed a company email, a safety vest, and maybe—if you're lucky—an SOP to skim through.
Days turn into weeks, and other than a couple of outdated three-ring binders, training depends entirely on who's available. One person gets a full walkthrough, anothe
The 7 Best Mold Remediation Templates to Ensure Safe, Compliant, and Effective Cleanup
You know the look.
A homeowner, arms crossed, hoping you’ll say it’s not that bad. A property manager insisting it’s “just a little mold.” But you already know how this plays out.

That’s why contents restoration is one of the most important and delicate parts of restoration, and without the right knowledge and approach, these belongings can be damaged further or lost
The 8 Essential Job-Site Safety Templates Every Restoration Team Needs
It’s never the big, obvious job-site hazards that catch you off guard. It’s the little things. A misstep on water-damaged flooring. A power cord snaking through a puddle. A scaffold that looks sturdy…until it’s not.
Small oversights that, in an instant, can become full-blown emergencies.
No one plans for accidents, but they happen when teams move fast, make split-second decisions, and juggle multiple deadlines in high-pressure environments. Under these conditions, even the most experienced wor

If you’re like most managers, your heart sinks with that nagging question: “Did he really read it, or just skim?” It’s not about distrusting your employee. Most people genuinely want to do a good job, but details slip through the cracks when juggling a hundred important tasks a day.
