Mold and Odor Removal: Water losses not handled in a timely manner 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 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 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 approach as bleach does not kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s goal 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.

Water Damage Assessments:

• 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.

Burr Ridge, IL Emergency Water Extraction

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

• The first step consists of immediate water removal using our advanced pumping machines. Once the water is removed, all damaged items and materials will be removed and stored or discarded.
• When the water is completely removed from the premises, the equipment is removed, and the pumped water will be discarded at an environmentally safe location.

Dehumidification & Drying

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

1. This procedure calls for all belongings to be removed to thoroughly complete the water removal.
2. We will place powerful air movers, focusing on the most affected areas. The most highly affected areas will be the focus, and hidden moisture will be removed by the machines. These powerful air movers are very loud.
3. These air movers are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. The water removed is disposed of by our technicians at a separate location.
4. Once moisture levels are normal, your PuroClean technicians will bring back moved items to where they belong. The humidity levels are closely monitored by our technicians to make sure that things can get back to normal as soon as possible.

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.
