Facilities That Embody<br />
The CodeBlue Culture<br />
CodeBlue is headquartered in<br />
Springfield, Ohio, <strong>USA</strong>, with two<br />
additional offices in Hudson, Ohio, and<br />
Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Much like the<br />
company itself, CodeBlue’s<br />
headquarters in Springfield, Ohio, is a<br />
blend of history and innovation.<br />
CodeBlue is located in the historic 1893<br />
Bushnell Building, where the Wright<br />
brothers patented their design for the<br />
airplane. The building renovations since<br />
its erection have achieved Platinum<br />
LEED (leadership in energy &<br />
environmental design) Certification by<br />
the U.S. Green Building Council<br />
(USGBC).<br />
The CodeBlue Flood<br />
House Experience<br />
In the CodeBlue flood house,<br />
they train and certify (IICRC S500)<br />
CodeBlue staff, insurance carrier staff,<br />
and contractors to be subject matter<br />
experts on the science of drying. The<br />
Springfield OH, CodeBlue flood house<br />
has been flooded with 1,500 gallons of<br />
water over 200 times since being built<br />
in 2011. “In this live water damage home<br />
environment, we demonstrate and<br />
teach the science of drying with<br />
participants using industry water and<br />
fire mitigation equipment to<br />
understand what is possible using<br />
today’s technology. Participants witness<br />
the ability to dry and restore wet<br />
materials such as carpet, hardwood<br />
flooring, cabinets, trim, and drywall<br />
versus replacing materials. This enables<br />
CodeBlue to return policyholders to<br />
pre-loss condition in the fastest and<br />
least disruptive manner.” CodeBlue has<br />
a 2nd flood house used to train and<br />
certify staff, built in 2007 in Eau Claire,<br />
Wisconsin.<br />
