Our Practice Areas

There are always limitations, complexities, complications and conflicts in the cleaning and restoration industry. Whether it's carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, water damage, mold contamination, or a fire and smoke cleanup there's always a dispute develops.  When some of these disputes develop, they become litigation issues. This is why standards were developed to ensure consistence in procedures.

The following standards were developed by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and then reviewed and approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Once these standards became published, they have been used in litigation proceedings.

The following standards:

• ANSI/IICRC S100-2021 "Standard for Professional Cleaning of Textile Floor Covering"

• ANSI/IICRC S300-2025 "Standard for Professional Upholstery Cleaning"

• ANSI/IICRC S500-2021 "Standard for Professional Water Damage Restoration"

• ANSI/IICRC S520-2024 "Standard for Professional Mold Remediation"

• ANSI/IICRC S700-2025 "Standard for Professional Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration"

David Henderson not only learned from his training and experience in the field, from limitations, complexities, complications and conflicts that developed on projects, but he learned to refer to the standards to indicate the limitations, complexities, complications, and the conflicts in his project reports. David's reports would explain how any of these four situations had affected the results of the project and the consequences that followed. ​

David had operated a cleaning, restoration and inspection service business under the name DAVHENCO Inc. for over 40 years. During those 40 years of field work, he had been subpoenaed to testify in court, pertaining carpet cleaning dispute, water damage/mold damage disputes, he has also been referred by attorneys to their clients pertaining to tenant-landlord dispute for mold contamination, and a condominium association for a unit's mold contamination.

David has retired from general public field work and felt that is training, experience and background could be an asset to litigation proceedings pertaining to water damage, mold contamination, fire & smoke damage disputes. Today, David provides services for attorneys only pertaining to these disputes.

When David is retained for his services by counsel, his main focused will be to determine that procedures were consistent or inconsistent with the standards.
