Turn Call-Outs Into Contracts
Every burst pipe, flexi-hose failure, or roof leak leaves wet structure behind. Drying training lets you scope the drying as well as the repair; check each insurer panel for the certifications it requires.

Turn Call-Outs Into Drying Contracts
Burst pipes and leaks often leave wet structure behind after the repair. CARSI water damage restoration and structural drying courses give your trade business the continuing-education grounding to capture the full remediation scope. CARSI courses carry CARSI Southern Hemisphere Restoration Designations, not IICRC certification.

Why Plumbing & Trade Contractors choose CARSI
Built for trade businesses
Training organised around the constraints technicians meet on site, with a clear path from task to course.
02
WHS & Insurer Credibility
Water damage brings WHS hazards such as slips, electrical risk and mould. Documented CARSI training shows clients and insurers what each technician has studied, and when.
03
Revenue Per Job
Drying the structure is usually a separate scope from fixing the leak. Trained plumbers can quote both instead of referring the drying out.

Questions technicians ask before enrolling
Straight answers about CECs, pacing, industries, and in-person events. If anything is still unclear, message CARSI support any time.
Still unclear?
Real people, Australian hours. Ask about CECs, invoices, or which course fits your crew.
Message CARSI supportNo. IICRC certification is not a legal requirement for plumbers in Australia. Insurer panels set their own requirements, so check each panel; the certification itself is obtained only through IICRC-approved schools and examinations. CARSI courses train plumbers in water damage restoration and drying, and where the IICRC has approved a course, its CEC hours are shown on the course page.
Training in moisture behaviour, psychrometry, drying-equipment placement and documentation lets a plumbing contractor find hidden moisture behind walls, set up drying and give the insurer a clear drying record. Start with Introduction to Water Damage Restoration, then Introduction to Psychrometry Science and Calculations and Introduction to Applied Structural Drying.
Burst pipes, flexi-hose failures and roof leaks often leave wet structural materials behind. With drying training, a plumber can scope the drying as well as fix the source, instead of handing the rest of the job to a separate restoration contractor.
Yes. CARSI offers IICRC CEC Accredited courses online and fully self-paced. There are no fixed class times, so modules fit between jobs, in the evening or on weekends. Every completed course issues a verifiable CARSI credential, and CEC hours are recorded only for courses the IICRC has approved.
