PuroClean QuickDry System™

Our QuickDry systems are 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 Water Damage Restoration and Removal Process: Our IICRC certified PuroClean of Honolulu, HI water damage restoration technicians ensure that the damage caused by water to your property – both visible and invisible is restored, all while caring for your property and your belongings.

Odor and Mold 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. 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 water 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 strategy as bleach doesn’t kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s mission 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 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 Restoration 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.

Emergency Water Removal & Extraction in Honolulu, HI

PuroClean will start by removing all unwanted water from your property. We strategically locate commercial-grade water removal machines to complete the unwanted water removal as quickly as possible.

• Our advanced pumping machines will be immediately used to remove all standing water immediately upon arrival. Your affected property will be removed to be stored or discarded.
• The equipment is taken away upon completion and the PuroClean technicians will discard the water at another location.

Drying and Dehumidification

Then our focus is to identify, isolate, and prep all areas that require drying and dehumidification.

1. This procedure calls for all belongings to be removed to thoroughly complete the water removal.
2. PuroClean technicians will place air moving machines, focusing on the most affected areas. The most highly affected areas will be the focus, and hidden moisture will be removed by the machines. These powerful air movers are very loud.
3. During our 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 the water that was removed in a different location.
4. Once the moisture levels return to normal, your PuroClean technicians will bring back moved items and property to where they belong in your house. These humidity levels are monitored closely by PuroClean technicians to ensure that things can get back to normal as soon as possible.

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 Restorations in Honolulu, HI

Although water damage restorations in Honolulu, HI is a high priority, the safety of our customers and technicians is our most important priority. The following tips will help reduce the risk of suffering setbacks due to heavy rain, flood, roof leaks, or faulty plumbing or AC units, regardless of whether water mitigation or water damage restoration is needed.

What You Should Do:

• Turn Water Off: Shut off your home’s water source and call a plumber for repairs.
• Use Caution: Due to wet floors, make sure to watch your step. Also, watch for any trip and fall hazards as well as for any exposed electrical wires.
• Water removal: Mop as much water as possible. In cool weather, open windows to help speed up drying and in hot weather, only if it’s safe to do so, turn your A/C on.
• Prop Up Upholstery: Take out all loose cushions and prop up upholstered furniture.
• Manage Area Rugs and Obstacles: Take out rugs and pick up any items that may be sitting on the floor.
• Dry Storage Containers: Open any wet suitcases and storage bins; and, if at all possible, dry them in the sunlight.
• Protect Valuables: Move any paintings and other artwork to a safe, dry place.
• Dry Wet Clothing: Quickly dry all wet clothes. Hang leather goods and furs to dry at room temperature.
• Furniture Protection: Put aluminum foil or some sort of plastic under all furniture legs that are touching wet carpets. Open drawers and cabinet doors to dry out interiors (but don’t force them open).
• Contact PuroClean ASAP: Call PuroClean of Honolulu, HI. Experienced technicians highly trained in Honolulu, HI water damage restorations are ready to come to you.

Do Not Do:

• Do not Use a Vacuum Cleaner: You can only use a wet-vac, which is built to deal with water. DO NOT USE your normal everyday vacuum cleaner.

• Do not Operate Electrical Appliances: DO NOT TURN ON TVs, radios, computers, ceiling fans, or any electrical appliances while standing on wet carpets or floors, particularly concrete or tile floors.
• Do not let it get too warm: Try to keep wet areas as cool as possible – hot, moist areas increase mold growth

Do 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.
