Explore Water Removal Process by Our IICRC Certified Technicians

PuroClean in San Antonio, TX‘s IICRC-certified technicians strongly care for your property and belongings while making sure water damage, both seen and unseen, is restored.

Comprehensive Mold and Odor Remediation After Water Loss

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 to develop. PuroClean’s IICRC certified technicians follow industry best practices to properly do a mold removal that has infected and/or damaged and return the property to a pre-loss condition. Once a 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:

• 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 doesn’t kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s goal is to return your property to a safe and clean 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.

Our Water Damage Services in San Antonio, TX

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 Water Extraction in San Antonio, TX

We begin by extracting any standing water present on your premises using specially designed equipment strategically placed to remove all water from the area.

• The first step consists of immediate water removal using our advanced pumping machines. Once the water has been extracted, all damaged items and materials will be removed and stored or discarded.
• When the water is completely removed from the premises, the equipment will be removed, and the displaced water will be discarded at an environmentally safe location.

Dehumidification and Drying

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

1. Your belongings and upholstery need to be moved to ensure the process can be completely executed.
2. Air moving machines will be placed strategically in the most appropriate locations. The areas that contain the majority of the water will be the focus to pull out trapped water. Remember, these machines are very loud.
3. The water is extracted 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. Our technicians dispose of the water in a separate location.
4. To ensure that everything is drying, a PuroClean technician will monitor moisture levels. Once moisture levels are back to normal, all removed items will be placed back to their original locations.

Water Damage Repair Dos and Don’ts

Water damage repair in San Antonio, TX is very important, but the safety of all parties 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, problem plumbing, leaky AC, or roof.

To Do:

• Turn Water Off: Shut off the home’s water source and call a plumber for repairs.
• Be very careful: Watch where you step as flooring may be wet and slick. Keep an eye out for obstacles and any exposed electrical wiring. USE CAUTION.
• Remove Water: Mop up as much water as possible. In cool weather, open windows to speed the drying process; in hot weather, if safe, switch on your Air Conditioning.
• Upholstery should be propped up: Any loose cushions and upholstered furniture should be propped up in a dry place.
• Deal with Area Rugs and Obstacles: Take out rugs and pick up all items that may be sitting on the floor.
• Dry Storage Containers: Open wet suitcases or storage boxes; and, if possible, have them dry in the sunlight.
• Protect Valuables: Move paintings and other artwork to a safe, dry place.
• Dry Clothing: Quickly dry all articles of clothing. Hang fur and leather goods to dry at room temperature.
• Protect Your Furniture: Put aluminum foil or plastic under furniture legs on wet carpeting. Open (but do not force) drawers and cabinet doors to dry out the inside.
• Call PuroClean Immediately: Call PuroClean in San Antonio, TX. Our certified technicians are highly skilled in water restoration in San Antonio, TX.

What You Should Not Do:

• Don’t operate a vacuum cleaner: DO NOT USE your ordinary household vacuum cleaner. You can use a wet vac or wet/dry vac that is designed to handle water cleanup.
• Don’t touch electrical outlets: Leave cords alone. If it’s plugged in, leave it and if isn’t plugged in, leave it. 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 tile or concrete floors.
• Don’t let it get too hot: Try to keep wet areas as cool as possible – hot, damp areas stimulate mold growth
