Trust PuroClean of Durango for your Water Damage Remediation

PuroClean QuickDry System™

Our QuickDry systems 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.

During our Process of Water Removal: The PuroClean of Durango certified water damage specialists are there to make sure that the obvious and hidden water damaged areas of your property are restored – they do this 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 established, 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 strategy as bleach doesn’t kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s goal is to return your property to a safe and clean condition.

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 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 Durango strives to be transparent in all its work in order to ensure all parties are fully aware and confident in making decisions. Throughout the Durango water damage repair process, we will make sure that both you and your insurance provider understand what is happening, what to expect, and what can be done.

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.

Durango Emergency Water Extraction

We begin by strategically using commercial water removal equipment to quickly get rid of standing water.

  • The first step consists of immediate water removal through our advanced water pumps. Once the water has been extracted, all affected belongings and structures will be removed and stored or discarded.
  • Once completed, our machines will be removed and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean’s professionals.

Drying & Dehumidification

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 ensure the process can be completely performed.
  2. A PuroClean professional 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, to pull out trapped water. Remember, these air movers are quite loud.
  3. During the dehumidification process, the moisture 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. To make sure that everything is being dried properly, a PuroClean technician will closely monitor moisture levels. Once moisture levels are back to normal, all removed items will be placed back to their original locations.

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.

PuroClean’s Dos and Don’ts of Water Damage in Durango

Mitigating or restoring water damage in Durango is one of our primary goals. However, our top priority is the safety of everyone involved in our process, technicians and customers alike. Follow these tips to reduce setback chances due to roof leaks, faulty plumbing and AC, rains, floods, etc.

What To Do:

  • Shut off the main water supply: Turn off your home’s water supply. You may need to call a plumber for repairs.
  • Be Cautious: Due to wet floors, make sure to watch your step. Also, watch for any trip and fall hazards and for exposed electrical wires.
  • Water removal: Mop as much water as possible. In cool weather, open windows to help speed up the drying process and in hot weather, only if it’s safe to do so, turn your air conditioning on.
  • Upholstery should be propped up: Any loose cushions and upholstered furniture should be propped up in a dry place.
  • Remove obstacles – Remove all rugs: Pick up wet rugs and take out all items that may be sitting on the floor and could pose a treat when walking.
  • Dry Storage Containers: Storage containers like wet suitcases and storage boxes should be opened and dried in the sunlight if at all possible.
  • Protect Your Valuables: Paintings, artwork, and any other valuables should be moved to a safe, dry place.
  • Dry Clothing: Immediately dry all articles of clothing. Hang fur and leather goods to dry at room temperature.
  • Protect Furniture: Put tinfoil or plastic underneath furniture legs on wet carpeting. Open (but don’t force) drawers and cabinet doors to dry out interiors.
  • Call PuroClean Immediately: Call PuroClean of Durango. Our certified technicians are highly skilled in Durango water damage repair.

What Not To Do:

  • DO NOT VACUUM: You shouldn’t use a regular everyday vacuum cleaner. Only use a wet vac, the type that is specifically created to deal with water.
  • Do Not Touch Plugs or Outlets: DO NOT PLUG OR UNPLUG any electrical appliances or touch anything that is plugged in already.
  • Don’t use electrical devices or appliances: DO NOT touch or run any electrical appliances, such as televisions, computers, radios, fans, or anything that may be plugged into electric power – and ESPECIALLY while standing on any wet floor, regardless of the material.
  • Don’t let it get too hot: Try to keep wet areas as cool as possible because hot, moist areas stimulate mold growth

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.

The PuroClean QUICKDRY SYSTEM™

Our PuroClean QuickDry System™ uses applied psychrometric science. It is a proven process that manages dehumidification and temperature to quicken drying and help ensure the best possible outcome. *We can save almost everything: drywall, wood, carpets, and most contents!

The system uses advanced restoration equipment:

  • High-Capacity Air Movers create a vortex, similar to the motion of a tornado. This method speeds up the drying process.
  • A Low-Grain Refrigerant Dehumidifier draws in cool, wet air and blows out warm, dry air.

Additionally, we measure and log the moisture content of materials, and monitor and log progress. That helps us know the actual drying time and ensure restoration to the appropriate dry standard.

The PuroClean QuickDry™ Guarantee — Back to Normal in Three Days or Fewer.* PuroClean will monitor and mitigate water damage to your property and in most cases have it back to normal in three days or fewer*. Don’t wait, call us immediately.

We provide a complete estimate, including photos, to the agent or adjuster within 24-48 hours.

*Certain extreme conditions may warrant additional drying time and/or the removal of carpet pad and structural components.

Highly recommend PuroClean! Good quality work!
