Trust PuroClean of Greater Bradenton for your Water Damage Remediation

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.

The Water Removal Process: The PuroClean of Greater Bradenton 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 in a timely manner 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 best practices 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.

A lot of people use bleach to clean mold; however, this is an ineffective strategy as bleach does not kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s mission is to return your property to a safe and clean 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 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.

Emergency Extraction of Water in Greater Bradenton

We begin by strategically locating specially designed water removal equipment to quickly rid your property of standing water.

• Once the water has been removed, any affected structures and belongings are relocated to be stored or discarded. This first step takes place immediately and is achieved using our commercial pumps. PuroClean will begin water removal immediately using our powerful commercial water pumping equipment. Upon completion of the water removal procedure, PuroClean will remove all affected structures and/or belongings whether they are to be stored or discarded.
• After the water is completely removed from the premises, the equipment is removed, and the displaced water will be discarded at an environmentally safe location.

Drying and Dehumidification

Areas to be dried and dehumidified are marked, isolated and prepped to be our focus for drying and dehumidification.

1. Your belongings and upholstery need to be moved to ensure the process can be completely finished.
2. A PuroClean professional will assess the isolated area and choose locations for the powerful air movers. Areas of the home or business that are affected with the most moisture and trapped water are our top concern, to pull out trapped water. Remember, these machines are quite loud.
3. These powerful air movers are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. The water that was removed is disposed of by technicians at a separate location.
4. PuroClean technicians will put back any moved items to where they belong once moisture levels are normal. The technicians monitor the humidity levels closely during this drying process to make sure that proper drying is taking place.

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 Greater Bradenton

Although the repair of water damage in Greater Bradenton is a high priority, the safety of our customers and technicians is our most important priority. The following tips will help reduce risk of suffering setbacks due to a heavy rain, flood, roof leaks or faulty plumbing or AC units; regardless of whether you are mitigating or restoring water damage.

To Do:

• Shut off main water supply: Turn off your home’s water supply. You may also need to call a plumber for repairs.
• Be Cautious: Floors may be slippery so be sure to watch your step. Also, watch for any trip and fall hazards as well as for exposed electrical wires.
• Water removal: Mop as much water as possible. In cooler weather, open windows to speed up drying and in hot weather, only if it’s safe to do so, switch on your A/C.
• Prop Up Upholstery: Take out all loose cushions and prop up upholstered furniture.
• Deal with Area Rugs and Obstacles: Take out rugs and pick up any items that may be sitting on the floor.
• Dry Storage Containers: Please open and dry all of your wet storage containers, bins, or suitcases. If possible, have them dry in the sun.
• Protect Valuables: Move paintings and other art to a safe, dry place.
• Dry Wet Clothing: Quickly dry any damp garments. Hang leather goods and furs to dry at room temperature.
• Furniture Protection: Put tinfoil or some sort of plastic under all furniture legs that are touching wet carpets. Open any drawers and cabinet doors to dry out interiors (but do not force them open).
• Contact PuroClean ASAP: Call PuroClean of Greater Bradenton . Trained technicians highly trained in Greater Bradenton water damage are ready to come to you.

What You Should Not Do:

• Do not Use a Vacuum Cleaner: Only use a wet vac, which is produced to deal with water. DO NOT USE your standard household vacuum cleaner.
• Don’t Touch Plugs or Outlets: DO NOT PLUG OR UNPLUG any electrical appliances or touch anything that is plugged in already.
• Do not use any devices or appliances: DO NOT touch or operate any electrical appliances, such as televisions, computers, radios, fans, or anything that is or may be plugged into electric power – and ESPECIALLY while you are standing on any wet floor, regardless of the material.
• Don’t turn up the heat: keep interiors cool, as mold grows with heat and moisture.

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.
