Trust PuroClean of Baltimore, MD for your Water Damage Remediation

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 Baltimore, MD certified water damage specialists are there to make sure that the obvious and hidden water damaged areas of your home and 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. 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 method as bleach does not kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s mission is to return your property to a clean and safe 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. 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.

PuroClean Emergency Flood and Related Water Damage Repair Services in Baltimore, MD

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.

Emergency Extraction of Water in Baltimore, MD

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

  • The first step calls for immediate water removal through our advanced pumping machines. Once the water has been extracted, all damaged items and materials will be removed and stored or discarded.
  • Once completed, the equipment will be removed and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean’s professionals.

Dehumidification and Drying

Once all areas needing attention have been identified, the areas are marked off and prepped for drying and dehumidification.

  1. The moving of belongings and upholstery will be necessary to ensure that the process can be thoroughly completed.
  2. Air moving machines will be sat out around the premises strategically in the most appropriate locations. The areas that contain the most moisture will be the focus to pull out trapped water. Remember, 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 that was removed is disposed of professionally by our technicians at a different location.
  4. Only after monitoring the humidity and confirming that the levels have returned to normal, your items will be returned to their 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.

PuroClean’s Dos and Don’ts of Water Damage in Baltimore, MD

Although the repair of water damage in Baltimore, MD is a high priority, the safety of our customers and technicians is our most important goal. The following tips will help lower risk of suffering setbacks due to a rain event, flood, roof leaks or faulty plumbing or AC units; regardless of whether you’re mitigating or restoring water damage.

To Do:

  • Shut off the main water supply: Turn off your home’s water supply. You may need to 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 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, put your air conditioning on.
  • Prop Up Upholstery: Take out all loose cushions and prop up upholstered furniture.
  • Eliminate obstacles – Remove rugs: Pick up any wet rugs and take out any items that are sitting on the floor and could pose a treat when walking.
  • Dry Storage Containers: Storage containers like wet suitcases and storage boxes should be opened and dried in the sunlight if at all possible.
  • 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 fur and leather goods to dry at room temperature.
  • Protect Furniture: Place aluminum foil or plastic wrap under furniture legs on wet carpeting. Open (but don’t force) drawers and cabinet doors to dry out the inside.
  • Contact PuroClean ASAP: Call PuroClean Water Damage Removal Services in Maryland. Experienced technicians highly trained in Baltimore, MD water damage are waiting to come to you.

What Not To Do:

  • Don’t operate a vacuum cleaner: DO NOT USE your ordinary household vacuum cleaner. You may use a wet vac or wet/dry vac that is built to handle water.
  • Don’t touch electrical outlets: Leave cords alone. If it’s plugged in, leave it and if isn’t plugged in, leave it alone. Don’t touch electrical cords at all.
  • DO NOT USE APPLIANCES: DO NOT USE TVs, radios, computers, ceiling fans, or any other electrical appliances while you are 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. Warmer areas promote mold growth.
