PuroClean\u2019s IICRC certified technicians follow industry best practices 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>\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>A lot of people use bleach to clean mold; however, this is an <strong>ineffective<\/strong> strategy as bleach does not kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean\u2019s mission is to return your property to a clean and safe condition.<\/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 can 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<p><strong>Ongoing Communication:<\/strong> During the Birmingham, AL water remediation process PuroClean works with you and your insurance provider to keep you both in the loop on what is happening, what to expect and what to do.

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>Birmingham, AL Emergency Water Extraction<\/h3>\n<p>To extract the standing water from your home or business, we begin by using strategically located commercial grade water removing equipment that quickly removes the water.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first step consists of immediate water removal using our advanced pumping machines. Once the water has been extracted, all affected belongings and structures will be removed and stored or discarded.<\/li>\n<li>Once completed, the equipment will be removed and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean\u2019s employees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Drying &amp; Dehumidification<\/h3>\n<p>Then our focus is to identify, isolate and prep all areas that need drying and dehumidification.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Relocation of belongings and upholstery are required to ensure that the process can be finished completely.<\/li>\n<li>When ready, the PuroClean professional will place air moving machines around the affected premises. Remember that these machines are quite noisy. The air movers will be concentrated on parts of the house or business that contain moisture to pull out any trapped water.<\/li>\n<li>The water is 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. PuroClean technicians dispose of the water in another location.<\/li>\n<li>Only after monitoring the humidity and confirming the levels have returned to normal, your property will be returned to the original location.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Final Cleaning Processes<\/h3>\n<p>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\u2019s professional process of cleaning, deodorizing and spot removal will safely and effectively remove soils and organics that are odor-causing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Our technicians will begin with a complete inspection and dry vacuuming of your carpet.<\/li>\n<li>To properly repair the affected carpet, where needed, your furniture may require repositioning.<\/li>\n<li>Pre-treatments may be required for heavily soiled areas, spots, or pet odors.<\/li>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-11","service","type-service","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/birmingham-al-puroclean-birmingham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services\/11","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/birmingham-al-puroclean-birmingham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/birmingham-al-puroclean-birmingham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/service"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/birmingham-al-puroclean-birmingham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/birmingham-al-puroclean-birmingham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
