PuroClean QuickDry System™

Our QuickDry System™ is designed to dry affected structural materials and contents in a timely and effective manner. It includes:
  • 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.

Our Water Removal Process

PuroClean Emergency Restoration Services‘s certified water damage restoration service professionals are there to ensure that the obvious and hidden water-damaged areas of your property are restored while giving special care to all your belongings.

Mold and Odor Removal

Water losses not handled in a timely manner can lead to additional damage such as microbial growth, cause structural components to lose their integrity, and potentially impact indoor air quality. Microbial growth may also result in compromised health issues developing in occupants. PuroClean’s IICRC-certified service technicians follow industry best practices to properly conduct a mold removal that has infected and/or damaged property and return it to its pre-loss condition. Once a scope of remediation services 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 high-efficiency particulate air (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 might use bleach to clean mold and for mold removal. However, this is an ineffective strategy as bleach does not kill the spores; it only bleaches them white. PuroClean’s mission is to restore your property or commercial properties cleanly and safely, using processes that ensure the mold infestation is eliminated entirely. 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 health-related issues. PuroClean’s approach is to follow industry standards to develop the proper scope of repair for your business or home. This includes employing specialized equipment and cleaning practices, followed by a clearance test to ensure your property has reached the desired condition.

Water Damage Assessment:

  • Our technicians will first conduct a thorough assessment, perform daily inspections and monitoring to develop drying strategies, and take note of what’s wet, how wet is it, if it is drying, and if it has reached its dry standard.
  • The assessment helps determine what damaged material may require removal 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.

Metro-East Illinois and St. Louis Emergency Water Extraction

We begin by removing any standing water on your premises using specially designed equipment strategically placed to extract all the standing water from the premises.
  • PuroClean’s specialized pumping equipment will be used to remove all standing water. Your damaged belongings will be removed to be stored, restored, or discarded.
  • Once completed, the equipment will be removed and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean’s skilled professionals.

Drying and Dehumidification

Areas to be dried and dehumidified are marked, isolated, and prepped to be our focus for drying and dehumidification.
  • Your belongings and upholstery are moved to ensure the process can be finished properly.
  • A PuroClean technician will assess the marked-off premises and choose locations for the powerful air movers. Areas of the home or business that contain the most moisture and trapped water will be the key focus.
  • Following this, the water will be sucked out by the air movers, which are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. All of the water pulled out will be disposed of by the PuroClean team in another location.
  • PuroClean technicians will return any moved items to their original location once moisture levels return to normal. Our technicians closely monitor humidity levels during this process to ensure proper drying.

Final Water Damage Cleaning Processes

Odors can form in a carpet that has been water damaged very quickly 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.

PuroClean’s Dos and Don’ts of Water Damage in Metro-East Illinois and St. Louis

Water damage restoration is very important, but the safety of all parties is our first 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 damage, faulty plumbing, leaking AC, or roof.

What You Should Do For Water Damage:

  • Shut Off Main Water Supply: Turn off your home’s water supply. You may also need to call a plumber for repairs.
  • Use Caution: Floors may be slippery so be 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 cool weather, open windows to speed up the drying process, and in hot weather, only if it’s safe to do so, put your air conditioning on.
  • Prop Up Upholstery: Remove all loose cushions and prop up upholstered furniture.
  • Remove Obstacles: Pick up wet rugs and remove all items that may be sitting on the floor and/or in the main walkway area.
  • Dry Storage Containers: Open wet suitcases or storage bins; and, if possible, have them dry in the sunlight.
  • Protect Your Valuables: Paintings, artwork, and any other valuables should be moved to a safe, dry place.
  • Dry Wet Clothing: Quickly dry all wet clothes. Hang leather goods and furs to dry at room temperature.
  • Protect Furniture: Put tinfoil or plastic wrap under furniture legs on wet carpeting. Open (but don’t force) drawers and cabinet doors to dry out interiors.
  • Call PuroClean Immediately: Call PuroClean of Metro-East Illinois and St. Louis. Our certified technicians are highly skilled in Metro-East Illinois and St. Louis water damage repair.

What You Should Not Do for Water Damage:

  • Do Not Vacuum: You should not use a traditional household vacuum cleaner. Only use a wet vacuum, the type that is specifically made to handle water.
  • Do Not Touch Outlets or Plugs: Don’t plug or unplug any electrical appliances or touch anything that is plugged in already.
  • Do Not Operate Electrical Appliances: Don’t use TVs, radios, computers, ceiling fans, or any electrical appliances, especially while standing on wet carpets or floors, particularly concrete or tile floors.
  • Do Not Turn Up the Heat: Keep interiors as cold as possible, as mold grows with heat and moisture you might need mold removal and mold remediation.
