Mold and Odor Removal: Water losses not handled and dried down quickly can lead to additional damage such as microbial growth, as well as cause structural components to lose their integrity, possibly 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 method 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 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.

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.

Emergency Extraction of Water in Everett, WA

We begin by extracting any standing water found in your home or business using high-grade equipment strategically placed to extract all water from the area.

• The first step consists of immediate water removal with our advanced pumping machines. Once the water is removed, all damaged items and materials will be removed and stored or discarded.
• Once completed, the equipment will be removed and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean’s technicians.

Drying & Dehumidification

Once all areas needing attention have been identified, the areas are marked off and prepped for drying and dehumidification.

1. The moving of belongings and upholstery will be necessary to ensure that the process can be accurately done and completed.
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 will be the key focus, to pull out trapped water. Remember, these machines are quite loud.
3. The water is extracted 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. Our technicians will make sure the water is disposed of in another location.
4. PuroClean technicians will put back any moved property to where they belong once moisture levels return to normal. The technicians monitor the humidity levels closely during this process of drying to make sure that proper drying is taking place.

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.
