PuroClean QuickDry System™

Our QuickDry system designed to dry affected structural materials and contents and in a timely and effective manner can consist of:

• 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: At PuroClean of Carthage, NC, our IIRCRC certified water damage restoration technicians are there to ensure that the obvious and hidden water damaged areas of your home and property are restored – we do this while giving special care to all of your belongings and property.

Mold and Odor Removal:
If water losses are not addressed promptly and efficiently dried, it can lead to additional issues such as microbial growth. This can compromise the integrity of structural components, impact indoor air quality, and potentially contribute to health concerns for occupants. With our team of IICRC certified technicians at PuroClean, we adhere to industry best practices to effectively remediate mold-infected or damaged areas and restore the property to its pre-loss condition. Once we establish a remediation and repair plan, we implement engineering controls and containment measures, including negative pressure with HEPA air filtration devices, to prevent cross-contamination to unaffected sections of the building. Our remediation protocol is carefully 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. With PuroClean, we have a mission to return your property to a safe and clean 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. 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.

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.
