PuroClean\u2019s 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 determined, 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.
