PuroClean QuickDry System™

Our QuickDry systems is designed to dry affected structural materials and contents and in a timely and effective manner can include:

• 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.
• Daily inspections and monitoring until materials have reached their pre-loss condition and established drying goals.

During our Process of Water Removal: The Bryan/College Station and Brazos Valley certified water damage professionals are there to ensure that the obvious and hidden water damaged areas of your property are restored – while giving special care to all of your belongings and property.

Mold and Odor Removal: Water losses not handled and dried down quickly can lead to secondary 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. 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.

Many people use bleach to clean mold; however, this is an ineffective strategy as bleach does not 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 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.

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 Bryan/College Station and Brazos Valley

We begin by extracting any standing water found in your home or business using high-grade equipment strategically placed to extract all water from the premises.

• Our specialized pumping equipment will be used to remove all standing water right away upon arrival. Your affected property will be removed to be stored or discarded.
• The equipment is taken away upon completion and the PuroClean technicians will discard the water at another location.

Dehumidification & Drying

The affected areas that need dried and dehumidified are marked, isolated and prepped to undergo this process.

1. Your belongings and upholstery need to be moved to make sure the process can be completely executed.
2. PuroClean technicians will place powerful air movers, focusing on the most affected areas. The most highly affected areas will be the focus, and trapped water will be removed by the machines. These powerful air movers are very loud.
3. The water is sucked 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. Our technicians will make sure the water is disposed of in another location.
4. PuroClean techs will put back any relocated items to where they belong once moisture levels are normal. Our technicians monitor humidity levels closely during this process of drying to ensure proper drying is happening.

Final Cleaning Processes

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’s professional process of cleaning, deodorizing and spot removal will safely and effectively remove soils and organics that are odor-causing.

• 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.
• 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.

PuroClean’s Dos and Don’ts of Water Remediation in Bryan/College Station and Brazos Valley

Water damage restoration in Bryan/College Station and Brazos Valley is very important, but the safety of everyone involved is our first priority. Whether mitigating or restoring water damage, the following tips will help lower the risk of you suffering a setback due to a heavy rain, flood, problem plumbing, leaking AC, or roof.

To Do:

• Shut off main water supply: Turn off your home’s water supply. You may need to call a plumber for repairs.
• Use Caution: Watch your step, as floors may be slippery. Also, watch for trip and fall hazards as well as for any exposed electrical wires.
• Water removal: Mop as much water as possible. In cool weather, open windows to help speed up the drying process and in hot weather, only if it’s safe to do so, switch on your A/C.
• Upholstery should be propped up: All loose cushions and upholstered furniture should be propped up in a dry place.
• Eliminate obstacles – Remove all rugs: Pick up any wet rugs and take out all items that are sitting on the floor and/or in the main walkway area.
• Dry Storage Containers: Storage containers like wet suitcases and storage boxes should be opened and dried in the sunlight if at all possible.
• Protect Valuables: Move any paintings and other art to a safe, dry place.
• Dry Wet Clothing: Quickly dry all damp clothes. Hang leather goods and furs to dry at room temperature.
• Furniture Protection: Put aluminum foil or some sort of plastic under all furniture legs that are touching wet carpets. Open cabinet doors and drawers to dry out interiors (but do not force them open).
• Contact PuroClean ASAP: Call PuroClean in Bryan/College Station and Brazos Valley. Experienced technicians highly trained in Bryan/College Station and Brazos Valley water damage restoration are waiting to come to you.

What Not To Do:

• Don’t operate a vacuum cleaner: DO NOT USE your basic household vacuum cleaner. You can use a wet vac or wet/dry vac that is created to handle water.
• Don’t touch electrical outlets: Leave cords alone. If it is plugged in, leave it and if it is not plugged in, leave it be. Do not touch any cords at all.
• Don’t use any appliances: DON’T touch or run any electrical appliances, such as televisions, computers, radios, fans, or anything that is or may be hooked to electric power – and ESPECIALLY while standing on any wet floor, regardless of the material.
• DON’T USE YOUR HEAT: The cooler you can keep your affected area, the better. Hotter areas encourage mold growth.

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.
