The SMART Center

We are the professionals that train the professionals. Our Southeast Michigan Advanced Restoration Training Center provides on-going education for employees, as well as, agents, adjusters and other insurance professionals, property managers, occupational therapists, risk managers, facility managers, and other IICRC members. This 1200 square foot state-of-the-art training facility has been constructed on-site at our Novi headquarters. Built to replicate a home, we can provide comprehensive training in a variety of residential situations, such as: kitchen bathroom, dining room, living room, bedroom, laundry room, and home office. Different construction material is also used for demonstration purposes, such as: wood and metal wall studs, four types of carpeting, wood, vinyl tile, and ceramic tile flooring.

Our unique and innovative training approach allows us to replicate the environment in which the damage would occur to teach the correct amount of equipment needed to efficiently complete the drying of the building. Open wall areas show the classes how drying equipment conducts airflow to thoroughly dry a wall interior. Our certified training crews flood the SMART Center monthly for class monitoring and then dry out all areas using different drying methods utilizing the newest technology and industry standards. The effectiveness of these methods is proven by the fact that the facility has been flooded repeatedly throughout the years without having to replace any of the materials.

Here are some of our upcoming classes:
