PuroClean\u2019s 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 sections 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>A lot of people use bleach to clean mold; however, this is an <strong>ineffective<\/strong> method as bleach does not kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean\u2019s goal is to return your property to a safe and clean 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 home or business, 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> Our Water damage restoration experts will work with you and your insurance provider throughout the Layton water damage restoration process, to ensure you both know what is happening, what to expect and what you can do.

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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Layton Emergency Water Extraction<\/h3>\n<p>We begin by extracting any standing water present on your premises using specially designed equipment strategically placed to extract all water from the area.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first step calls for immediate water removal through our advanced pumping machines. Once the water is removed, all damaged items and materials will be removed and stored or discarded.<\/li>\n<li>Upon completion, the equipment will be removed and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean\u2019s employees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Drying and Dehumidification<\/h3>\n<p>Once all areas requiring this process have been identified, they are isolated and prepped for drying and dehumidification.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Relocation of belongings and upholstery will be necessary to ensure that the process can be thoroughly completed.<\/li>\n<li>Our professionals will place powerful air movers, focusing on the most affected areas. The most highly affected areas will be the focus, and trapped water will be removed by the machines. These machines are very loud.<\/li>\n<li>The water is extracted into the air by these powerful air movers, which are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. Our technicians dispose of the water in a separate location.<\/li>\n<li>Only after monitoring humidity levels and confirming the levels have returned to normal, your items will be returned to the original location.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Final Cleaning Processes<\/h2>\n<p>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\u2019s professional process of cleaning, deodorizing and spot removal will safely and effectively remove soils and organics that are odor-causing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Our technicians will begin with a complete inspection and dry vacuuming of your carpet.<\/li>\n<li>To properly repair the affected carpet, where needed, your furniture may require repositioning.<\/li>\n<li>Pre-treatments may be required for heavily soiled areas, spots, or pet odors.<\/li>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>PuroClean&#8217;s Dos and Don&#8217;ts of Water Damage restoration in Layton<\/h2>\n<p>Mitigating and restoring water damage in Layton is one of our main goals.
