Trust PuroClean of Arlington 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.
Water Removal Process: PuroClean of Arlington’s IICRC certified technicians respectfully care for your property and belongings while ensuring water damage, both visible and invisible, is restored.
Mold and Odor Removal: Water losses not handled in a timely manner and dried down quickly can lead to additional 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 goal 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.

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.
Emergency Extraction of Water in Arlington
We begin by strategically placing commercial water removal equipment in order to quickly get rid of standing water.
- Our advanced pumping machines will be immediately used to remove all standing water right away upon arrival. Your damaged belongings will be removed to be stored or discarded.
- Once completed, the equipment will be removed and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean’s employees.
Dehumidification & Drying
Once all areas requiring this process have been identified, the areas are marked off and prepped for drying and dehumidification.
- To ensure this procedure can be completely performed, relocating items and upholstery will be necessary.
- 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. Please note, these machines are very loud.
- Following this, the water will be 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. All of the water pulled out will be disposed of by the PuroClean professional in another location.
- To make sure that everything is being dried properly, your PuroClean technician will closely monitor moisture levels. Once moisture levels are back to normal, all removed items will be placed back to their original locations.
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.
Arlington Water Damage Do’s and Don’ts
Water damage restoration in Arlington NY is very important, but the safety of everyone involved is our first priority. Whether mitigating or restoring water damage, the following tips will help lower the risk of you suffering a setback due to a rain event, flood, faulty plumbing, leaking AC, or roof.
What To Do:
- Shut off the main water supply: Turn off your home’s water supply. You may also need to call a plumber for repairs.
- Be extra careful: Watch your step as floors may be wet and slick. Keep an eye out for obstacles and any exposed electrical wiring. USE CAUTION.
- Water removal: Mop as much water as possible. In cooler weather, open windows to speed up the drying process and in hot weather, only if it’s safe to do so, switch on your A/C.
- Upholstery should be propped up: Any loose cushions and upholstered furniture should be propped up in a dry place.
- Eliminate obstacles – Remove rugs: Pick up wet rugs and take out all items that are sitting on the floor and could pose a treat when walking.
- Dry Storage Containers: Please open and dry all of your wet storage containers, bins, or suitcases. If possible, have them dry in the sun.
- Protect Your Valuables: Paintings, artwork, and any other valuables should be moved to a safe, dry place.
- Dry Clothing: Quickly dry all garments. Hang fur and leather goods to dry at room temperature.
- Protect Your Furniture: Put aluminum foil or plastic wrap underneath furniture legs on wet carpeting. Open (but do not force) drawers and cabinet doors to dry out interiors.
- Contact PuroClean ASAP: Call PuroClean of Arlington. Experienced technicians highly trained in Arlington water damage are ready to come to you.
What You Should Not Do:
- Don’t operate a vacuum cleaner: DON’T USE your basic household vacuum cleaner. You can use a wet vac or wet/dry vac that is designed to handle water cleanup.
- Don’t mess with electrical outlets: DO NOT unplug or plug any electrical cords or outlets and don’t touch anything that’s already plugged in.
- Don’t use electrical appliances: DO NOT touch or operate any electrical appliances, such as TVs, computers, radios, fans, or anything that is or may be hooked to electric power – and ESPECIALLY while standing on any wet floor, regardless of the material.
- Don’t turn up the heat: keep interiors as cold as possible, as mold grows in heat and moisture.

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.
