Our QuickDry systems are designed to dry affected structural materials and contents promptly and effectively. The system includes:

• 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.

Our Water Damage Restoration Process

The PuroClean of San Diego, CA IICRC-certified water damage restoration technicians are there to ensure that the obvious and hidden water-damaged areas of your property are restored — they do this while giving special care to all of your belongings and property.

Water losses not handled promptly and dried down quickly can lead to additional damage, such as microbial growth, cause structural components to lose their integrity, potentially impacting indoor air quality, and ultimately resulting 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 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 ineffective as it does not 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 MVOCs (microbial volatile organic compounds) and can cause health 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, and cleaning practices, followed by recommending a clearance test to ensure your property has reached the desired goal.

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 must 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 San Diego, CA

We strategically use commercial water removal equipment to remove standing water quickly.

After the water has been removed, any affected areas and belongings are relocated to be stored or discarded. This first step takes place immediately and is performed using our commercial pumps. Our technicians start water removal immediately using our high-tech commercial water pump machines. Upon completion of the water removal process, PuroClean will remove all affected structures and/or belongings regardless if you’re keeping or trashing them.

Upon completion, the equipment will be removed, and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean’s professionals.

Drying and Dehumidification

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

• Your belongings and upholstery need to be moved to ensure the process can be completely performed.
• Air moving machines will strategically sit out around the premises in the most affected areas. The areas that contain the most moisture will focus on pulling out trapped water. Keep in mind these machines are very loud.
• Next, the water will be sucked out by the air movers, which are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be the most effective. All of the water pulled out will be disposed of by the PuroClean technician in another location.
• PuroClean technicians will return any moved property to where they belong once moisture levels are normal. Our technicians closely monitor humidity levels during the drying process to ensure proper drying.

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 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-treatment may be required for heavily soiled areas, spots, or pet odors.
• Post-cleaning treatments can include textile or fiber protection and the cleaning of hard surfaces and contents that can help protect and prolong the value of your property.
