PuroClean\u2019s 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 areas of a building utilizing negative pressure with HEPA air filtration devices. A remediation protocol is developed to remove contaminants by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The removal of compromised materials and contents per industry standards.<\/li>\n<li>A thorough cleaning using HEPA air filter devices and HEPA vacuums.<\/li>\n<li>A thorough cleaning of all surfaces with cleaning solutions that can include EPA registered disinfectants, followed by another HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many people use bleach to clean mold; however, this is an <strong>ineffective<\/strong> strategy as bleach doesn\u2019t kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean\u2019s goal is to return your property to a clean and safe condition.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s (microbial volatile organic compounds) and can cause health related issues. PuroClean\u2019s approach is to follow industry standards to develop the right scope of repair for your business or home, which includes employing specialized equipment, cleaning practices, followed by recommending a clearance test to ensure your property has reached the desired goal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ongoing Communication:<\/strong> PuroClean in Johnson City, TN strives to be transparent in all its work to ensure that all parties are aware and confident in making decisions.
