RRT

From mitigation to pre-loss condition

Repair & Reinstallation Technician

The certification that bridges mitigation and rebuild. Repair and reinstall what the loss damaged — flooring, drywall, trim and finishes — so the job is returned to pre-loss condition by one company, not handed off.

What the RRT is

The job isn’t done when it’s dry. It’s done when it’s whole.

Mitigation stabilizes the loss. But the customer doesn’t feel finished until the flooring is back down, the drywall is patched and the room looks like nothing happened. The RRT certifies your techs to carry the job through that last phase — repair and reinstallation — instead of handing it off.

Students learn to scope and execute the common repairs a restoration job leaves behind: drywall and trim, flooring removal and reinstallation, finishes and the sequencing that returns a structure to pre-loss condition. Keeping that work in-house captures the revenue and controls the outcome.

Why take it

Why your team takes the RRT

Certification isn’t a wall decoration. Here’s what the credential actually changes for your techs and your business.

Keep the rebuild revenue

Handing off the repair phase hands off the margin. RRT lets your company carry the job to completion and bill for all of it.

Own the customer outcome

One company from first call to final walkthrough means no finger-pointing between trades — and a customer who saw it through with you.

Scope repairs accurately

Knowing what the repair really takes makes your estimate tighter and your schedule realistic.

Round out your crew’s skills

Techs who can mitigate and repair are more useful on more jobs — and the certification proves the capability.

Taught by RTI

The instructors are the difference.

Working instructors

Every RTI instructor is an active tech, supervisor or estimator — so the answer to “what actually happens on site?” comes from this week’s jobs, not a textbook.

A live flood house

Our training environment gets soaked, mapped, dried and reset every week. Students place real equipment under a real job clock before they ever touch a customer’s floor.

Contact student services

Do I need a prior certification to take the RRT?

No. RRT has no prerequisites, though most techs take it once they’re already running mitigation work and want to carry jobs through the rebuild phase.

Is the IICRC exam fee included?

The IICRC RRT exam is administered on the final day, but the exam fee isn’t included in tuition — it’s a separate $80 fee paid directly to the IICRC.

Is this a general-contracting or framing class?

No. RRT focuses on the repair and reinstallation work a restoration loss leaves behind — drywall, flooring, trim and finishes — not ground-up construction or structural engineering.

What should I bring?

Work clothes and closed-toe shoes. Tools, materials and course materials are provided.
