PuroClean\u2019s 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 sections of a building utilizing negative pressure with HEPA air filtration devices. A remediation protocol is developed to remove contaminants by:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The removal of compromised materials and contents per industry standards.<\/li>\n<li>A thorough cleaning using HEPA air filter devices and HEPA vacuums.<\/li>\n<li>A thorough cleaning of all surfaces with cleaning solutions that can include EPA registered disinfectants, followed by another HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many people use bleach to clean mold; however, this is <strong>ineffective<\/strong> as bleach doesn\u2019t kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean\u2019s goal is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/augusta-ga-puroclean-puroclean-augusta\/\">return your property to a clean and safe condition<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s (microbial volatile organic compounds) and cause health-related issues. PuroClean\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seamless Insurance Coordination &amp; Compassionate Water Damage Restoration in Augusta, GA <\/h3>\n<p>We will work with you and your insurance provider throughout the Augusta, GA water damage repair process.

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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emergency Water Extraction<\/h3>\n<p>To extract the standing water from your home or business, we start using strategically located high-grade water removing equipment that expeditiously eliminates the water.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Our specialized pumping equipment will be used to remove all standing water right away upon arrival.

The areas that contain the majority of the water will be the focus to pull out trapped water. Remember, these machines are very loud.<\/li>\n<li>These powerful air movers are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. The water that was removed is disposed of by our technicians at a different location.<\/li>\n<li>PuroClean techs will put back any relocated items to their original location once moisture levels are normal.
