Learning More About Mitigation

Marium Webster’s definition of mitigation is the process or result of making something less severe, dangerous, painful, harsh, or damaging. One can use the word mitigation in various ways; however, as we learn more about Mitigation with PuroClean of Wolf Creek, mitigation means putting an end to a disaster’s damage and preparing it for cleanup efforts. You may need mitigation services after a disaster like a tornado, fire, or snowstorm. The most common forms of mitigation are water, fire, and mold. 

Water Damage Mitigation

Water Damage mitigation is the process of keeping water from spreading any further by removing the standing water and using air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the affected area. Flood mitigation aims to transform a space that is unusually wet into a clean structure and of equal or better appearance than prior to the intrusion. Your home can flood for many reasons like pipe bursts, poor drainage, malfunctioning appliances, weather, and more.

Mold Mitigation  

Mold growth can start in 48 hours or less. Meaning if you let water damage go unattended for too long, you can risk having mold fester on your property. Mold spores prosper in moisture. They can quickly grow and multiply when exposed to water. Our experts at PuroClean of Wolf Creek will suit up in hazmat suits for their protection, reduce the mold particles in the air with an air scrubber and eliminate the mold by using an Hepa Vacuum.  Create a containment area to prevent cross contamination of your home, and you will be required to evacuate your property to mitigate mold. 

 Fire Mitigation 

Fire mitigation aims to convert a fire or smoke-damaged property to a safe space and free of unpleasant and dangerous odors. Fire debris and all damaged sources are identified and tracked to be salvaged or replaced. Materials that are deemed salvageable are cleaned and deodorized. Damaged materials are often documented and removed.
