Seattle, Wash. - 1-800-WATER DAMAGE, the nation's leading franchise specializing in water damage restoration for homes and businesses, is rolling out the steam-cleaned red carpet for one of its 'celebrity' franchisees.

Joe Dobbins, who operates a 1-800-WATER DAMAGE franchise in Northern Alabama, was recently ranked among the nation's top four carpet cleaning professionals as a part of CM/Cleanfax Magazine's annual "Dream Team" awards. In June 2005, Dobbins decided to convert his successful independent water damage restoration business into a 1-800-WATER DAMAGE franchise because he wanted to capitalize on the power of the growing national 1-800-WATER DAMAGE brand.

In addition to his 1-800-WATER DAMAGE franchise, Dobbins also runs the National Center for Advanced Training in Anniston, AL, a full-service contracting and cleaning firm that offers educational seminars to the industry. Over the years, Dobbins has achieved the status with the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) as a Master Textile Cleaner, Master Water Restorer, Master Smoke Restorer and Senior Carpet Inspector.

In the highly specialized field of water damage restoration, few have garnered the respect and admiration of industry peers as much as Dobbins, who also serves as Vice President overseeing the certification boards and Executive Committee officer for the IICRC.

"Having Joe in the 1-800-WATER DAMAGE franchise system strengthens the credibility of our brand," said 1-800-WATER DAMAGE President Lisa Bongi. "With his impressive background and winning this award, Joe continues to be a source of inspiration for our franchisees."

CM/Cleanfax Magazine is one of the industry's largest magazines and bases its awards on high levels of expertise, solid reputation, leadership, and positive contributions to the industry.
