The Water Damage Removal Process:

1. The first thing our technicians will do is remove damaged materials and building materials that will either be restored or discarded. These materials include baseboards, insulation, furniture, upholstery, carpeting, carpet padding, fragile wood, drywall, and more. 
2. After removing the damaged items, we begin drying out the water and disinfecting the affected areas. Specialized tools like air movers and dehumidifiers are typically used in the drying process. 
3. Our technicians will then handle the mold removal portion of the water damage restoration process. Mold-infected surfaces will be disinfected and restored as quickly as possible to prevent mold from spreading.

Emergency Water Extraction Personal and Commercial Properties in Pineville, LA

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

1. The first step requires immediate water removal through our advanced pumping machines. Once the water has been extracted, all affected belongings and structures (structural damage) will be removed and either stored or discarded.
2. Once completed, the equipment will be removed, and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean of CenLa’s technicians. 

Drying & Dehumidification

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

1. Removal of belongings and upholstery will be necessary to ensure that the process can be done thoroughly.
2. When ready, your local PuroClean of CenLa technician will place air-moving machines around the isolated area. Keep in mind that these machines are loud. The fans will be focusing on areas of the house or business that contain moisture, to pull out any trapped water. 
3. Next, the water will be pulled into the air and the fans as they go through the dehumidification process. All of the water pulled out will be disposed of by the PuroClean technician in another location.
4. To ensure that everything is drying, a PuroClean of CenLa technician will monitor moisture levels. Once moisture levels are normal, any removed items will be placed back in their original locations. 

Carpet Restoration After Water Damage and Floods

Carpet restoration is the following process that PuroClean of CenLa uses to take your damaged carpet and restore it to its pre-loss condition.

1. The first step is to find the source of the water damage as this determines whether or not your carpet is salvageable. 
2. If the findings of step one show that the carpet is salvageable, any remaining water is removed through water extraction. 
3. Then, high-grade air-moving fans will be used to remove the moisture from the carpet to prevent mold growth and unnecessary mold remediation. 
4. PuroClean of CenLa’s technicians will keep you and your insurance agent updated during the drying process. 
5. Once the carpet is dry, all equipment will be removed from the area, and all belongings will be put back into place. 

Carpet Cleaning, Deodorization & Spot Removal

Carpets that have been impacted by water damage are susceptible to mildew formation, leading to unpleasant odors that can permeate not just the affected room but also the entire home or office. However, these odors can be effectively eliminated from your carpet through thorough cleaning, deodorization, and targeted spot removal with clean water.

1. Our technician will begin with a complete inspection and vacuuming of your carpet. 
2. Then, your furniture will be removed to repair your carpet.
3. Spot and pet odor treatment will be done, should the need arise.
4. Fiber or textile protection is also available, which will protect and prolong the value of your carpet.

Water Damage Do’s and Don’ts

While addressing water damage is crucial, the primary focus is on ensuring the safety of all parties involved. Whether mitigating or restoring water damage, the following tips are designed to minimize the risk of setbacks caused by natural disasters such as heavy rain events, floods, flood waters, faulty plumbing, or roof leaks and water leaks from the air conditioning.

What to Do For Water Damage

1. Turn Water Off: Shut down your home’s water supply and call a plumber for repairs. 
2. Use Caution: Watch your step as floors may be slippery. Also watch for trip and fall hazards, as well as for exposed electrical wires.

4. Prop Up Upholstery: Remove all loose cushions and prop up upholstered furniture. 
5. Manage Area Rugs and Obstacles: Remove rugs and pick up any items that may be sitting on the floor.

8. Dry Clothing: Immediately dry all garments. Hang fur and leather goods to dry at room temperature.
