The Water Removal Process: The PuroClean of Chardon, OH has IICRC certified technicians 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 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 to develop. 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 areas 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 doesn’t kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s goal is to return your property to a clean and safe 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 Assessments:

• 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 Chardon, OH

To extract the standing water from your home or business, we start by using strategically placed high-grade water removing equipment that quickly removes the water.

• The first step consists of immediate water removal using our advanced water pumps. Once the water has been extracted, all damaged items and materials will be removed and stored or discarded.
• Once completed, the equipment will be removed and the water will be disposed of off-site by PuroClean’s technicians.

Dehumidification and Drying

Once all areas requiring this process have been identified, the areas are marked off and prepped for drying and dehumidification.

1. Your belongings and upholstery need to be moved to make sure the process can be completely performed.
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. Next, 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 is to be disposed of by the PuroClean employee in another location.
4. Once moisture levels are normal, our technicians will bring back relocated items to their original location. The humidity levels are monitored closely by PuroClean technicians to make sure that things can get back to normal as soon as possible.

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.

Repairing water damage in Chardon, OH is very important, but the safety of all parties 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, faulty plumbing, leaky AC, or roof.

To Do:

• Shut off the main water supply: Turn off your home’s water supply. You may also need to call a plumber for repairs.
• Be extra careful: Watch where you step as floors may be wet and slick. Keep an eye out for obstacles and any exposed electrical wiring. USE CAUTION.

• Upholstery should be propped up: All loose cushions and upholstered furniture should be propped up in a dry place.
• Deal with Area Rugs and Obstacles: Remove rugs and pick up any items that are sitting on the floor.

• Dry Wet Clothing: Quickly dry any damp clothes. Hang leather goods and furs to dry at room temperature.

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.
