The Water Removal Process: The PuroClean of Brunswick, OH has technicians that are IICRC certified that will ensure the water damage that is both visible and invisible is restored, while being respectful of your property and belongings.

Mold and Odor Removal: Water losses not handled in a timely manner 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 established, 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 strategy as bleach doesn’t kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s mission is to return your property to a safe and clean 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 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 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.

Emergency Extraction of Water in Brunswick, OH

We start out by strategically locating specially designed water removal equipment that will quickly rid your property of standing water.

• Once the water has been removed, any affected areas and property are removed to be stored or discarded. This first step takes place immediately and is carried out using our commercial pumps. Our technicians start water removal immediately using our powerful commercial water pumping equipment. Upon the finishing of the water removal process, PuroClean will remove all damaged structures and/or belongings whether they are to be stored or discarded.
• The equipment is taken away upon completion and the PuroClean technicians will discard the water at another location.

Dehumidification and Drying

Afterwards, our goal is to identify, isolate and prep all areas that up for drying and dehumidification.

1. This procedure calls for all belongings to be relocated to thoroughly complete the water removal.
2. Air moving machines will be sat out around the premises strategically in the most appropriate locations. The areas that contain the most moisture will be the focus to pull out trapped water. Keep in mind, these machines are very loud.
3. During the dehumidification process, the water is pulled into the air by 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 that was removed in a separate location.
4. Once moisture levels return to normal, our technicians will bring back moved items to their original location. These humidity levels are monitored closely by PuroClean technicians to ensure that things can get back to normal as soon as possible.

Final Cleaning Processes

• 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.

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.
