Clean Pro becomes IICRC-Certified Firm

Some news from my work:

Clean Pro becomes IICRC-Certified Firm

National standard-setting organization recognizes commitment to excellence

Muskogee, OK – Clean Pro, a locally owned and operated cleaning and restoration company, recently became an IICRC-Certified Firm, formalizing their longstanding commitment to implementing quality industry standards and professional training.

An international nonprofit organization, the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) establishes globally recognized standards and certifications for the cleaning and restoration industries. In order to become a Certified Firm, companies must employ one or more IICRC-Certified technicians who have met strict training and education qualifications set by the IICRC, pledge to adhere to the IICRC Code of Ethics, and be current in their business insurance and licensee requirements.

Both of Clean Pro’s full-time technicians are IICRC-Certified in multiple categories. George Faught, the owner/operator, was first certified in the early 1990’s, and is currently certified in Water Damage Restoration and Fire & Smoke Restoration. Jamison Faught received his first IICRC certification in 2014, and today holds Certified Technician status in both Carpet Cleaning and Water Damage Restoration.

The professional standards of care and procedures set by the IICRC are recognized by flooring manufacturer warrantees and insurance companies who deal with the cleaning and restoration industries in order to ensure that quality care is provided for their clients. By administering a strict process of certification, the IICRC provides a means by which consumers can receive the highest quality of service from trained, knowledgeable, professional technicians.

“The importance of staying up with industry advances and providing quality service for our customers is why we have and continue to pursue certification with the IICRC,” said George Faught. “We want our customers to have the peace of mind that when we work for them, the job will be done right.”

An IICRC-Certified firm, Clean Pro is owned and operated by the George Faught family and has served the greater Muskogee area since 1987. Clean Pro provides carpet cleaning, tile cleaning, upholstery cleaning, and 24-hour emergency water damage restoration services. You can learn more about Clean Pro by visiting CleanProMuskogee.com or following them on Facebook and Instagram.

Clean Pro gives advice to flood victims, information on relief groups

If you know of anybody who was personally affected and sustained damage as a result of the recent (and ongoing) flooding, please share this post with them.

End in sight? Arkansas River appears to have crested at Muskogee

As historic flooding continues to affect northeastern and east-central Oklahoma, the Army Corps of Engineers appears to be cautiously optimistic about the reduction in flooding in the Arkansas River at Muskogee.

From the Tulsa World:

“Right now, on our current path, we expect the river to be back within its banks at Muskogee around June 8, barring any additional significant weather,” [Tulsa District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spokesman Preston Chasteen] said.

Releases from Keystone Lake are being bumped up from 250,000 cubic feet per second to 275,000 cfs by Monday morning. That will result in slightly higher flood levels in the Tulsa area. However, for residents in Muskogee and further south, discharge from the Grand River at Fort Gibson Lake has reduced from 211,000 cfs at midnight last night to 177,000 cfs at 6pm Sunday, which will result in an almost even swap with the increase from Keystone.

According to Muskogee County Commissioner Ken Doke, "the Corps intends to stagger the flows at other dams to keep this a net-neutral flow for our area [Muskogee, Fort Gibson, Braggs, Webbers Falls]."

Information from the Corps of Engineers appears to show that the Arkansas River crested, at least temporarily, at 46.39' at 9:00am this morning, and has fallen slightly to 46.21' as of 7pm. That is the same level the river was at at midnight. This is the first stretch of falling water levels since this flooding event began.

While forecasts are calling for more storms on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the potential for areas of significant rainfall, there is no rain in the forecast for Memorial Day, which will allow water levels to begin falling (even if its slowly) to hopefully compensate for any additional precipitation on Tuesday/Wednesday.

In other words, it's beginning to look like the end is in sight for flood-beleaguered communities up and down the Arkansas River!

The amount of rainfall that has occurred in the Arkansas River watershed is staggering, as shown in the above map from Oklahoma Mesonet. Everything that fell in area 'A' runs through the Three Forks at Muskogee, the confluence of the Arkansas, Verdigris, and Grand rivers.

It will still take plenty of time for inundated areas to become accessible for residents, restoration professionals, and volunteers. Due to the extreme contamination found in floodwaters, much of what has been affected by water damage in homes and businesses will need to be disposed of.

It is vitally important for health and safety that proper steps are taken when dealing with the aftermath of a house flooded by an incident such as this. Make sure that you work with restoration companies that have the proper training, equipment, and insurance to handle this type of work.

It is advisable to go ahead and call a water damage restoration company now in order to get on their list of jobs. Waiting until the waters have fully receded may put you behind multiple other customers.

Clean Pro, the company my family runs, has been serving customers in the Muskogee area since 1987. Water damage restoration is one of the services we provide, and we are IICRC-Certified in Water Damage Restoration. You can reach us by calling 918-686-0222, emailing CleanProMuskogee@gmail.com, visiting our website, or messaging us on Facebook.

We have already had customers call to line us up for work, which is going to be the case for all of the local restoration companies. There will be plenty of work to go around, and I have already heard of out-of-area companies that plan to head to our area to work. Whoever you end up using, make sure that they are properly trained, insured, and reputable.

To reiterate some information that I've posted previously, for official road highway closures, visit OKRoads.org. This does not cover county or city streets. Some local road closures can be found on the official Facebook pages of the City of Muskogee Emergency Management and the Muskogee County Emergency Management. You can also check out this video from Clean Pro posted yesterday, showing the flooding on the north and east side of Muskogee and giving out information for area flood donation dropoffs, updates from the City and County, and tips on what to do about damage at your home or business.

A busy New Year at Clean Pro!

Things have been pretty hectic this new year at the Faught household. Our family company, Clean Pro, has been swamped with work from frozen pipes during this cold snap. Here are some photos from a big job we're currently finished.

Headed out

Lots of ice outside the location -- not a good sign!

Sprinkler pipe froze, unleashed a ton of water

Not the best thing to wake up to!
