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 Fort Worth, TX

Our technicians start water removal immediately using our high tech commercial water pump machines. Upon the finishing of the water removal procedure, PuroClean will remove all affected structures and/or belongings regardless if you’re keeping or trashing them.

Drying and Dehumidification

The affected areas that need dried and dehumidified are marked, isolated and prepped to undergo this process.

1. Your belongings and upholstery need to be moved to make sure the process can be completely finished.
2. When ready, the PuroClean technician will place air moving machines around the isolated area. Keep in mind that these machines are loud. The air movers will be concentrated on parts of the house or business that contain moisture to pull out any trapped water.
3. During the dehumidification process, the moisture is pulled into the air by 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 all the excess water in a different location.
4. Once the moisture levels are normal, our technicians will bring back moved property and items to where they belong. These humidity levels are closely monitored by PuroClean technicians to ensure that things can get back to normal as quickly as possible.

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.
