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, potentially 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 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 approach as bleach does not kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s mission is to return your property to a safe and clean condition.

Odors are a sign 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.

The 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.

Lee's Summit, MO Emergency Water Extraction

We begin by removing any standing water found in your home or business using specially designed equipment strategically placed to remove all water from the area.

• Once the water has been removed, any affected structures and property are relocated to be stored or discarded. This first step happens right away and is carried out using our advanced pumping machines. Our technicians start water removal immediately using our high tech commercial water pump machines. Upon completion of the water removal procedure, PuroClean will remove all damaged structures and/or belongings whether they are to be stored or discarded.
• Once completed, the equipment will be removed and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean’s technicians.

Drying & Dehumidification

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

1. To ensure this process can be completely performed, relocating items 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. Keep in mind, these machines are very loud.
3. 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. Our technicians will make sure the water is disposed of in another location.
4. Once the moisture levels return to normal, our technicians will bring back moved items to where they belong in your house. The humidity levels are closely monitored by our technicians to make sure that things can get back to normal as soon as possible.

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.
