Eric's parents, Cindy and Craig George, opened a Paul Davis Restoration franchise when he was 13 years old and included him in all aspects of the fire and water damage restoration business from day one. Throughout the time the Georges owned PDR, Eric worked in all facets of the restoration business, earning two certifications from the IICRC ( Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certifications ) in Fire & Water Damage Restoration. The IICRC mandates a very thorough understanding of building science principles surrounding moisture movement in buildings and how to dry structures properly and effectively. Eric now applies this education every day when explaining building degradation and the causes for it during inspections. When Eric was 18, his parents purchased a local insulation company that specialized in insulating and air-sealing custom homes with cellulose and spray foam. Working in the company off and on through college, Eric and a good friend from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business decided to take over the company after graduating and expand the scope of the company's services into building weatherization. Running the insulation and weatherization company, Eric learned the other half of the building science equation on how to properly insulate and air-seal buildings with the correct materials and techniques to prevent building failure. The DOE requires that anyone performing work for any State program be extensively trained and certified independently through the Building Performance Institute on all aspects of building science, including ductwork systems, applying pressure differentials, ...Read More
