Trust PuroClean of Greenfield 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.

During our Process of Water Removal: The PuroClean of Greenfield certified water damage professionals are there to ensure that the obvious and hidden water damaged areas of your property are restored – while giving special care to all of your belongings and property.

Mold and Odor Removal: Water losses not handled in a timely manner and dried down quickly can lead to secondary 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 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 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:

• 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 clean and safe 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 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.

Water Damage Assessments:

• 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.

Greenfield Emergency Water Extraction

To extract the standing water from your home or business, we start by using strategically placed commercial grade water removing equipment that expeditiously eliminates the water.

• The first step calls for immediate water removal with our advanced water pumps. Once the water has been extracted, all damaged items and materials 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.

Dehumidification and Drying

Once all areas requiring this process have been identified, the areas are isolated and prepped for drying and dehumidification.

1. This process requires all belongings to be relocated to thoroughly complete the water removal.
2. Air moving machines will be placed strategically in the most affected areas. The areas that contain the majority of the water will be the focus to pull out trapped water. Keep in mind, these machines are very loud.
3. During this dehumidification process, the water 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. Only after monitoring humidity levels and confirming the levels have returned to normal, your property will be returned to the original location.

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.

Greenfield Water Damage Do’s and Don’ts

Mitigating or restoring water damage in Greenfield is one of our primary goals. However, our primary concern is the safety of all individuals 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.

To Do:

• Shut off the main water supply: Turn off your home’s water supply. You may also need to call a plumber for repairs.
• Be very careful: Watch where you step as floors may be slippery and wet. Keep a lookout for obstacles and any exposed wiring. USE CAUTION.
• Remove Excess Water: Mop up as much water as possible. In colder weather, open windows to speed drying; in hot weather, if safe, turn on your Air Conditioning.
• Prop Up Upholstery: Take out all loose cushions and prop up upholstered furniture.
• Deal with Area Rugs and Obstacles: Take out any area rugs and pick up all items that are 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 Your Valuables: Paintings, artwork, and any other valuables should be moved to a safe, dry place.
• Dry Clothing: Quickly dry all articles of clothing. Hang leather and fur goods to dry at room temperature.
• Protect Furniture: Place aluminum foil or plastic under furniture legs on wet carpeting. Open (but do not force) drawers and cabinet doors to dry out the inside.
• Contact PuroClean ASAP: Call PuroClean of Greenfield. Trained technicians highly trained in Greenfield water damage are ready and waiting to come to you.

What Not To Do:

• Do not Use a Vacuum Cleaner: You can only use a wet-vac, which is built to deal with water. DON’T USE your standard household vacuum.
• Do not touch electrical outlets: Leave cords alone. If it is plugged in, leave it and if it’s not plugged in, leave it. Do not touch electrical cords at all.
• Do not Operate Electrical Appliances: DON’T USE TVs, radios, computers, ceiling fans, or any other electrical appliances especially while standing on wet carpets or floors, particularly concrete or tile floors.
• DON’T USE YOUR HEAT: The cooler you keep your affected area, the better. Hotter temperatures encourage 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.
