Trust PuroClean of Covington, KY for your Water Damage Restoration, Water Mitigation, and Water Removal

PuroClean QuickDry System™

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

  • 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.

Water Removal Process: PuroClean of Covington, KY‘s certified water damage restoration technicians strongly care for your property and belongings while being sure that water damage, both seen and unseen, is restored.

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, potentially impact indoor air quality, and may ultimately result in compromised occupant health issues. 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 determined, 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.

Many 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 mission 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.

Ongoing Communication: PuroClean of Covington, KY strives to practice transparency so that everyone involved is fully informed and able to make important decisions. Throughout your water damage in Covington, KY repair service, we ensure that you and your insurance company are fully informed on all areas of our work.

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.

Covington, KY Emergency Water Extraction

To extract the standing water from your affected area, we begin by using strategically located specially designed water removal equipment that quickly removes the water.

  • The first step calls for immediate water removal using our advanced pumping machines. Once the water is removed, all affected belongings and structures will be removed and stored or discarded.
  • Upon completion, the equipment will be removed and the water is discarded elsewhere by PuroClean’s professionals.

Dehumidification and Drying

Then our focus is to identify, isolate and prep all areas that require drying and dehumidification.

  1. This process requires all belongings to be removed to thoroughly complete the water removal.
  2. Air moving machines will be placed strategically in the most appropriate locations. The areas that contain the most moisture will be the focus to pull out trapped water. Keep in mind, these machines are very loud.
  3. During the dehumidification process, the water is pulled into the air by the air movers, which are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. PuroClean technicians dispose of the water that was removed in a separate location.
  4. Only after monitoring the humidity and confirming the levels have returned to normal, your items and property will be returned to their original location.

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 water damage restoration 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.
