EcoRestore Credentials — Licensing, Certifications, and Insurance
Restoration is one of the more heavily regulated construction trades in Utah, sitting at the intersection of Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) contractor requirements, technical standards promulgated by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), EPA registration requirements for pre-1978 housing work, and OSHA obligations for Category 3 sewage and biohazard response. This page consolidates every credential EcoRestore Water Damage & Restoration currently holds, with license numbers, certifying bodies, verification methods, and expiration or renewal cycles.
Every credential here is publicly verifiable. Where a state or federal database supports license verification, the verification path is listed. Every insurance policy and bond is documented via Certificate of Insurance (COI) available on request within 24 hours to any insurance carrier, property manager, or commercial client.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a general contractor license and a restoration contractor license in Utah?
- Under Utah Code Title 58 Chapter 55, contractor licensing is granular by classification. General Contractor (R100) authorizes construction, alteration, and repair of residential and commercial structures. Restoration Contractor is a distinct classification specifically authorizing water damage restoration, mold remediation, sewage cleanup, fire and smoke damage restoration, and directly related activities. EcoRestore holds the Restoration Contractor classification (#12783456-5501); Steven Kraft’s independent contracting entity holds the R100 General Contractor classification (#10847923-5501) for reconstruction scope. This division of licensing means we operate strictly within our authorized scope on restoration work, and coordinate the R100-covered reconstruction phase through Steven’s separately-licensed entity. Any restoration contractor performing rebuild work without proper R100 licensing or a licensed reconstruction subcontractor is operating outside their authorized scope under Utah law.
- Why does EcoRestore carry specialty pollution liability insurance in addition to general liability?
- Most standard commercial general liability policies contain a “pollution exclusion” that excludes coverage for claims arising from exposure to sewage, mold, asbestos, and similar contaminants — exactly the exposures presented by Category 3 sewage response, mold remediation, and biohazard cleanup. A restoration contractor relying only on standard general liability is likely uninsured for the very work they’re performing. EcoRestore carries $1,000,000 per occurrence pollution liability through an AIG subsidiary specifically to cover Category 3 and mold remediation exposures. Ask any competitor bidding against us for their pollution liability certificate specifically. If they cannot produce one, they cannot indemnify you for the exposure you’re paying them to address.
- How often are IICRC certifications renewed, and what does renewal require?
- IICRC individual technician certifications (WRT, ASD, AMRT, FSRT) are renewed every 2 years with 14 hours of continuing education credit approved by IICRC. Renewal fees are approximately $50–$75 per certification per cycle. Continuing education can include classroom instruction, on-line coursework, hands-on training, or approved industry conferences. IICRC firm certification is renewed annually with proof of continued technician certifications, current insurance, and clean complaint history. Firms whose technician certifications lapse or whose insurance drops below thresholds are removed from the IICRC-Certified Firm registry pending remediation. Verify a firm’s current status through the IICRC Locator public search.
- Can I request a Certificate of Insurance (COI) before hiring EcoRestore?
- Yes. Email info@ecorestorewaterdamagerestoration.xyz with the subject line “COI Request” specifying which coverage you need (general liability, workers’ comp, pollution liability, commercial auto), which certificate holder should be named (property owner, HOA, insurance carrier, or property manager), and your project address. COIs are issued through the respective carriers (The Hartford, Workers Compensation Fund of Utah, AIG, Progressive Commercial) and typically delivered within 24 hours during business days. There is no charge for COI issuance for legitimate business purposes. Commercial and multi-family clients typically require COI as a condition of engagement; residential customers may request COI but usually do not require it.
- What happens if EcoRestore is not properly licensed or insured when I need to file a claim?
- Every scope authorized under our name is covered by our current Utah DOPL Restoration Contractor licensing, IICRC certifications, and full insurance coverage. If a customer discovers after job completion that a credential lapsed during the work, options include: filing a claim against our $50,000 Utah DOPL contractor bond through the DOPL Investigation Bureau (Utah Code section 58-55-306), filing a complaint with the Utah DOPL Consumer Protection Division for regulatory action, filing a civil claim against the specific insurance policy in effect during the work period, or pursuing individual civil recovery. Utah Code section 58-55-501 provides that unlicensed contracting is a Class A misdemeanor and creates statutory rights for customers to recover payments and damages. To be clear: none of these scenarios apply to current EcoRestore engagements. All credentials are current and independently verifiable through the sources listed above.
