Trust PuroClean of Margate, FL for your Water Damage Remediation

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.

The Water Removal Process: The PuroClean of Margate, FL has IICRC certified technicians that will ensure the visible and invisible water damage is restored, while respectfully caring for your property and belongings.

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 to develop. 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 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.

Many 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 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 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.

Water Damage 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.

Margate, FL Emergency Water Extraction

We begin by removing any standing water found in your home or business using high-grade equipment strategically placed to extract all water from the premises.

• Once the water has been removed, any affected areas and belongings are relocated to be stored or discarded. This first step happens right away and is carried out using our commercial pumps.

• Once completed, the equipment will be removed and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean’s professionals.

Dehumidification and Drying

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

1. To ensure this process can be completely performed, removal of belongings and upholstery will be necessary.
2. Air moving machines will be located strategically in the most affected areas. 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. 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 will make sure the water is disposed of in another location.
4. Only after monitoring humidity levels and confirming that the levels have returned to normal, your property will be returned to their original location.

Final Cleaning Processes

• Our technicians will begin with a complete inspection and dry vacuuming of your carpet.

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.
