These materials include baseboards, insulation, furniture, upholstery, carpeting, carpet padding, fragile wood, drywall, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After removing the damaged items, we dry and disinfect the affected areas. Specialized tools like air movers and dehumidifiers are typically used in drying.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our technicians will then handle mold damage in the restoration process. Mold-infected surfaces will be disinfected and restored quickly to prevent mold from spreading.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Emergency Water Extraction<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We begin by extracting any standing water in your home or business using high-grade equipment strategically placed to remove all the water from the area.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step requires immediate water removal through our advanced pumping machines. Once the water has been extracted, all affected belongings and structures will be removed and either stored or discarded.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once completed, the equipment will be removed, and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean of Walnut Creek\u2019s technicians.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Drying &amp; Dehumidification<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once all areas requiring this process have been identified, the areas are isolated and prepped for drying and dehumidification.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removal of belongings and upholstery will be necessary to ensure the process can be done thoroughly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your local PuroClean of Walnut Creek technician will place air-moving machines around the isolated area when ready. Keep in mind that these machines are loud. The fans will be focusing on areas of the house or business that contain moisture to pull out any trapped water.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, the water will be pulled into the air and through the fans during dehumidification. All of the water pulled out will be disposed of by the PuroClean technician in another location.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PuroClean of Walnut Creek technicians will monitor moisture levels to ensure everything is drying. Once moisture levels are normal, any removed items will be placed back in their original locations.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Carpet Restoration<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carpet restoration is the process that PuroClean of Walnut Creek uses to restore your damaged carpet to its pre-loss condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is to find the source of the water damage, as this determines whether or not your carpet is salvageable.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the findings of step one show that the carpet is salvageable, any remaining water is removed through water extraction.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, high-grade air-moving fans will be used to remove the moisture from the carpet to prevent mold growth.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PuroClean of Walnut Creek&#8216;s technicians will update you and your insurance agent during the drying process.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the carpet is dry, all equipment will be removed from the area, and all belongings will be put back into place.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Carpet Cleaning, Deodorization &amp; Spot Removal<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any carpet affected by water damage is subject to mildew formation, which can cause an odor to spread not only in the affected room but throughout the entire home or office. Odors can be removed from your carpet with proper cleaning, deodorization, and\/or spot removal.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our technician will begin with a complete inspection and vacuuming of your carpet.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, your furniture will be removed to repair your carpet.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spot and pet odor treatment will be done if needed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiber or textile protection is also available, which will protect and prolong the value of your carpet.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water Damage Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"text-xl lg:text-2xl text-primary font-bold leading-relaxed wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repairing water damage is very important, but the safety of all parties is our main priority.
