PuroClean QuickDry System™

Our QuickDry systems is designed to dry affected structural materials and contents and in a timely and effective manner can include:

• A thorough assessment and inspection of the structure to determine what’s wet and how wet structural materials and contents are with infrared cameras and moisture meters.
• The removal of standing water.
• The application of specialized drying equipment.
• Daily inspections and monitoring until materials have reached their pre-loss condition and established drying goals.

The Water Removal Process: The PuroClean of Auburn, Worcester County, and Blackstone Valley Corridor has technicians that are IICRC certified that will ensure the water damage that is both seen and hidden is restored, while being respectful of your property and belongings.

Mold and Odor Removal: Water losses not handled and dried down quickly can lead to additional damage such as microbial growth, as well as cause structural components to lose their integrity, potentially impact indoor air quality, and may ultimately result in compromised occupant health issues.

PuroClean’s IICRC certified technicians follow industry standards to properly remediate mold that has infected and/or damaged and return the property to a pre-loss condition. Once a scope of remediation and repair has been determined, they will implement engineering controls and containment to prevent cross-contamination to unaffected areas of a building utilizing negative pressure with HEPA air filtration devices. A remediation protocol is developed to remove contaminants by:

• The removal of compromised materials and contents per industry standards.
• A thorough cleaning using HEPA air filter devices and HEPA vacuums.
• A thorough cleaning of all surfaces with cleaning solutions that can include EPA registered disinfectants, followed by another HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces.

Many people use bleach to clean mold; however, this is an ineffective approach as bleach doesn’t kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s goal is to return your property to a clean and safe condition.

Odors are a sign that something could still be wet. If something has a musty pungent odor it can indicate microbial issues that can create MVOC’s (microbial volatile organic compounds) and can cause health related issues. PuroClean’s approach is to follow industry standards to develop the right scope of repair for your business or home, which includes employing specialized equipment, cleaning practices, followed by recommending a clearance test to ensure your property has reached the desired goal.

Water Damage Assessment:

• Our technicians will first conduct a thorough assessment, perform daily inspections and monitoring to develop drying strategies and answer: What’s wet, how wet is it, is it drying, and has it reached its dry standard.
• The assessment helps determine what damaged material may need to be removed due to structural integrity issues, damage not restorable, or contamination. Our goal is to dry all materials such as drywall, wood, carpet and padding, baseboards, furniture, insulation, furniture, upholstery, and more, providing they are not contaminated, or structurally compromised according to industry standards.

Auburn, Worcester County, and Blackstone Valley Corridor Emergency Water Removal

To extract the standing water from your home or business, we begin by using strategically placed specially designed water removing equipment that expeditiously eliminates the water.

• After the water has been removed, any affected areas and property are relocated to be stored or discarded. This first step happens right away and is performed using our commercial pumps. Our technicians start water removal immediately using our powerful commercial water pump machines. Upon completion of the water removal process, PuroClean will remove all affected structures and/or belongings regardless if you’re keeping or trashing them.
• Once completed, the equipment will be removed and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean’s staff.

Dehumidification and Drying

Once all areas requiring this process have been identified, the areas are isolated and prepped for drying and dehumidification.

1. Your belongings and upholstery need to be moved to make sure the process can be completely finished.
2. Air moving machines will be placed strategically in the most appropriate locations. The areas that contain the most moisture will be the focus to pull out trapped water. Remember, these machines are very loud.
3. Next, the water will be pulled into the air by the air movers, which are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. All of the water pulled out will be disposed of by the PuroClean technician in another location.
4. Once the moisture levels return to normal, your PuroClean technicians will bring back moved items and property to where they belong in your house. The humidity levels are monitored closely by PuroClean technicians to make sure that things can get back to normal as soon as possible.

Final Cleaning Processes

Odors can form in a carpet that has been water damaged very easily due to soils and potentially from other issues such as mildew and may spread beyond the affected area to your entire home or business. PuroClean’s professional process of cleaning, deodorizing and spot removal will safely and effectively remove soils and organics that are odor-causing.

• Our technicians will begin with a complete inspection and dry vacuuming of your carpet.
  
• To properly repair the affected carpet, where needed, your furniture may require repositioning.
• Pre-treatments may be required for heavily soiled areas, spots, or pet odors.
• Post cleaning treatments can include textile or fiber protection, the cleaning of hard surfaces and contents that can help protect and prolong the value of your property.

PuroClean’s Dos and Don’ts of Water Damage in Auburn, Worcester County, and Blackstone Valley Corridor

Although the water damage restoration in Auburn, Worcester County, and Blackstone Valley Corridor is a high priority, safety of our customers and technicians is our most important priority. The following tips will help reduce risk of suffering setbacks due to a rain event, flood, roof leaks or faulty plumbing or AC units; regardless of whether you’re mitigating or restoring water damage.

What You Should Do:

• Shut Off Water: Shut off your home’s water supply and call a plumber for repairs.
• Be extra careful: Watch where you step as flooring may be slippery and wet. Keep a lookout for obstacles and any exposed electrical wiring. USE CAUTION.
• Remove Water: Mop up as much water as possible. In colder weather, open windows to speed the drying process; in hot weather, if safe, turn on your Air Conditioning.
• Upholstery should be propped up: Any loose cushions and upholstered furniture should be propped up in a dry place.
• Deal with Area Rugs and Obstacles: Take out rugs and pick up all items that may be sitting on the floor.
• Dry Storage Containers: Any storage containers like wet suitcases and storage bins should be opened and dried in the sunlight if at all possible.
• Protect Valuables: Move paintings and other artwork to a safe, dry place.
• Dry Wet Clothing: Quickly dry any wet garments. Hang leather goods and furs to dry at room temperature.
• Protect Furniture: Put aluminum foil or plastic under furniture legs on wet carpeting. Open (but don’t force) drawers and cabinet doors to dry out the inside.
• Call PuroClean Immediately: Call PuroClean of Auburn, Worcester County, and Blackstone Valley Corridor. Our certified techs are highly skilled in Auburn, Worcester County, and Blackstone Valley Corridor water remediation.

What Not To Do:

• DO NOT VACUUM: You should not use a common household vacuum cleaner. Only use a wet vac, the type specifically made to handle water.
• Do Not Touch Plugs or Outlets: DO NOT PLUG OR UNPLUG any electrical appliances or touch anything that is plugged in already.
• Don’t use any appliances: DO NOT touch or run any electrical appliances, such as televisions, computers, radios, fans, or anything that may be plugged into electric power – and ESPECIALLY while you are standing on any wet floor, regardless of the material.
• Do not turn on your heat: The cooler you keep your affected area, the better. Warmer temperatures encourage mold growth.

Does homeowners insurance cover flooding or water damage? Do you work with insurance companies to minimize the cost and hassle?

Homeowners insurance provides coverage for sudden and accidental damage (such as water heater ruptures or pipe bursts). However, flood damage, no matter the water source, is NOT covered by standard homeowners policies. Also, a standard homeowners insurance policy will not cover water damage that results from a lack of maintenance.
