PuroClean QuickDry System™

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 Treasure Valley certified water damage specialists are there to ensure that the obvious and hidden water damaged areas of your home and property are restored – they do this while giving special care to all of your belongings and property.

Mold and Odor Removal: Water damage restoration also prevents losses not handled in a timely manner 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 standards to properly remediate mold that has infected and/or damaged and return the property to a pre-loss condition. Once a scope of water damage 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.

A lot of 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 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 Treasure Valley

PuroClean will begin by removing all unwanted water from your affected areas. We strategically place commercial grade water removal machines to remove unwanted water as quickly as possible.

• Once the water has been removed, any affected structures and belongings are removed to be stored or thrown away. This first step takes place immediately and is performed using our commercial pumps. Our technicians start water removal immediately using our powerful commercial water pump machines. Upon the finishing of the water removal procedure, PuroClean will remove all damaged structures and/or belongings whether they are to be stored or discarded.
• The equipment will be removed upon completion and the PuroClean technicians will discard the water at another location.

Drying and Dehumidification

Areas needing dried and dehumidified are marked, isolated and prepped to be our focus for drying and dehumidification.

1. To ensure this procedure can be completely performed, removal of belongings and upholstery will be necessary.
2. Air moving machines will be sat out around the premises strategically in the most appropriate locations. The areas that contain the majority of the water will be the focus to pull out trapped water. Please note, these machines are very loud.
3. These powerful air movers are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. The water removed is disposed of professionally by our technicians at a separate location.
4. PuroClean technicians will put back any moved property to their original location once moisture levels return to normal. The technicians monitor the humidity levels closely during this drying process to ensure proper drying is happening.

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 Treasure Valley ‘s Water Damage Dos and Don’ts

The following tips will help lower risk of suffering setbacks due to a heavy rain, flood, roof leaks or faulty plumbing or AC units; regardless of whether you’re mitigating or restoring water damage.

What To Do:

• Shut Off Water: Shut down the home’s water supply and call a plumber for repairs.
• Be Cautious: Floors may be slippery so be sure to watch your step. Also, watch for trip and fall hazards and for any exposed electrical wires.
• Water removal: Mop as much water as possible. In cool weather, open windows to help speed up the drying process and in hot weather, only if it’s safe to do so, turn your air conditioning on.
• Upholstery should be propped up: All loose cushions and upholstered furniture should be propped up in a dry place.
• Remove obstacles – Remove rugs: Pick up wet rugs and remove any items that may be sitting on the floor and/or in the main walkway area.
• Dry Storage Containers: Open wet suitcases and storage boxes; and, if possible, have them dry in the sunlight.
• Protect Your Valuables: Paintings, artwork, and any other valuables should be moved to a safe, dry 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 water damage restoration Boise (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.
