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, possibly impact indoor air quality, and may ultimately result in compromised occupant health issues to develop. PuroClean’s 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:

• 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.

A lot of people use bleach to clean mold; however, this is an ineffective approach as bleach does not kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s mission is to return your property to a clean and safe condition.

Odors are an indicator 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.

Water Damage Assessments:

• 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.

Bloomfield, NJ Emergency Water Extraction

To remove the standing water from your affected area, we begin by using strategically located commercial grade water removing equipment that quickly removes the water.

• When the water has been removed, any affected structures and belongings are relocated to be stored or thrown away. This first step takes place immediately and is carried out using our commercial pumps. PuroClean will begin water removal immediately using our powerful commercial water pump machines. Upon the finishing of the water removal procedure, PuroClean will remove all affected structures and/or belongings whether they are to be stored or discarded.
• After the water is fully removed from your property, the equipment will be removed, and the displaced water will be discarded at an environmentally safe location.

Drying and Dehumidification

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

1. To ensure this step can be completely performed, removal of belongings and upholstery will be necessary.
2. When ready, the PuroClean technician will place air moving machines around the affected premises. Keep in mind that these machines are loud. The air movers will be concentrated on parts of the house or business that contain moisture to pull out any trapped water.
3. The water is pulled into the air by these powerful air movers, which are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. Our technicians will make sure the water is disposed of in another location.
4. Only after monitoring humidity levels and confirming the levels have returned to normal, your items will be returned to the original location.

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.
