PuroClean QuickDry System™

- 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.

During Our Water Damage Restoration and Removal Process:
Our IICRC certified PuroClean of Denver, Boulder and Longmont, CO water damage restoration technicians ensure that the damage caused by water to your property – both visible and invisible is restored. They do this while caring for 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 and cause structural components to lose their integrity, potentially impacting indoor air quality. They 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 established, 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 method 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 cause health-related issues. PuroClean’s approach is to follow industry standards to develop the right scope of repair for your home or business, which includes employing specialized equipment, cleaning practices, followed by recommending a clearance test to ensure your property has reached the desired goal.

Water Damage Restoration 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.

- To ensure this step can be completely performed, removal of belongings and upholstery will be necessary.
- A PuroClean technician will assess the marked off premises and choose locations for air moving machines. Areas of the home or business that contain the most moisture and trapped water are our top concern, to pull out trapped water. Remember, these air movers are quite loud.
- During our dehumidification process, the moisture 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 all the excess water in a different location.

Water damage repair in Denver, Boulder and Longmont, CO is vital, but the safety of all parties is our priority. Whether mitigating or restoring water damage, the following tips will help reduce the risk of you suffering a setback due to heavy rain, flood, faulty plumbing, leaky AC, or roof.
What You Should Do:
- Shut off the main water supply: Turn off your home’s water supply. You may need to call a plumber for repairs.
- Be Cautious: Due to wet floors, make sure to watch your step. Also, watch for any trip and fall hazards as well as for exposed electrical wires.
- Water removal: Mop as much water as possible. In cooler weather, open windows to help speed up drying and in hot weather, only if it’s safe to do so, put your air conditioning on.
- Upholstery should be propped up: All loose cushions and upholstered furniture should be propped up in a dry place.
- Remove obstacles – Remove all rugs: Pick up wet rugs and take out any items that are sitting on the floor and could pose a treat when walking.
- Dry Storage Containers: Please open and dry all of your wet storage containers, bins, or suitcases. If possible, have them dry in the sun.
- Protect Your Valuables: Paintings, artwork, and any other valuables should be moved to a safe, dry place.
- Dry Wet Clothing: Quickly dry any wet clothes. Hang leather goods and furs to dry at room temperature.
- Furniture Protection: Put tin foil or some sort of plastic under all furniture legs that are touching wet carpets. Open drawers and cabinet doors to dry out interiors (but don’t force them open).

- Don’t use any appliances: DON’T touch or run any electrical appliances, such as televisions, computers, radios, fans, or anything that may be plugged into electric power – and ESPECIALLY while standing on any wet floor, regardless of the material.

Do homeowners insurance cover flooding or water damage restorations? 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.
