During our Process of Water Removal: The Delaware, OH property certified water damage service professionals are there to make sure that the obvious and hidden water damaged areas of your property are restored – while giving special care to all of your belongings and property.

Mold and Odor Removal: Water losses not handled 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 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 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. 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 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.

The 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.

Delaware, OH Emergency Water Extraction

PuroClean will start by removing all standing water from your premises. We strategically place commercial grade water removal machines to remove the water as quickly as possible.

• The first step calls for immediate water removal through our advanced water pumps. Once the water has been extracted, all damaged items and materials will be removed and stored or discarded.
• Once the water is fully removed from the premises, the equipment is removed, and the pumped water will be disposed of at an environmentally safe location.

Dehumidification and Drying

Then our fucus is to identify, isolate and prep all areas that up for drying and dehumidification.

1. Your belongings and upholstery need to be moved to make sure the process can be completely performed.
2. When ready, the PuroClean technician will place air moving machines around the affected premises. Please note that these machines are loud. The air movers will be focusing on areas of the house or business that contain moisture to pull out any trapped water.
3. The water is pulled into the air by these powerful air movers, which are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. Our technicians dispose of the water in another location.
4. Only after monitoring the humidity and confirming that the levels have returned to normal, your items will be returned to the original location.

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.
