PuroClean&#8217;s IICRC certified technicians follow industry best practices to properly remediate mold that has infected and damaged and return the property to a pre-loss condition. Once the scope of remediation and repair has been determined, 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 class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The removal of compromised materials and contents per industry standards, , often necessary after flood exposure.<\/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>Many people use bleach to clean mold; however, this is an <strong>ineffective<\/strong> approach as bleach does not kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean&#8217;s water damage restoration mission is to return your property to a clean and safe condition.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s (microbial volatile organic compounds) and cause health-related issues. PuroClean&#8217;s approach is to follow industry standards to develop the proper 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> PuroClean will work with you and your insurance company throughout the Oak Park, IL water damage restoration process.
