Biohazard

How can I keep my home sterilized when taking care of someone with COVID-19?

As with any virus, the Coronavirus spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes, and any respiratory droplets come in contact with another person.  Keeping a good distance from infected persons will help keep you safe from contracting the disease.

The following measures will help keep your environment safe:

  • Use a separate room and bathroom for sick household members if possible.
  • Disinfect household items regularly, paying particular attention to those that are touched often.
  • Wash hands frequently for at least 20 seconds, making sure to lather the back of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
  • Clean personal items regularly, such as cell phones, glasses, remote control devices, computers, etc.
  • Avoid sharing personal items like utensils, food and drink.

PuroClean uses the PuroClean RapidDefense™ system to provide deep mitigation cleaning in areas compromised by a Coronavirus or Influenza outbreak. Using this process, the team at PuroClean will carefully contain the area and will minimize the risk of pathogens spreading using The Environmental Protection Agency-registered (EPA), hospital-grade products. If there are any lingering odors, our trained technicians will deodorize the area and return your property back to its pre-loss condition with empathy and care.

Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces are the recommended actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, like Coronavirus. Since any surface can be re-contaminated after cleaning, and because the Coronavirus is also spread person-to-person, PuroClean’s services are not guaranteed to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. Visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention for more information regarding Coronavirus, its spread, and prevention.

Is blood a biohazard?

Blood itself is not a biohazard, it’s what may be in the blood that is potentially hazardous, such as bloodborne pathogens (BBPs) or infectious microorganisms, that can cause diseases.

What should I do in a social setting if someone closeby is coughing or sneezing?

If someone in close proximity to you is coughing or sneezing, be sure to maintain at least 6 feet (2 meters) distance between yourself and the person who is coughing or sneezing.  If you are too close, you will have the potential to breathe in any sprays of liquid that may be emitted from their nose or mouth, which may potentially contain a virus, including the COVID-19.

If you are in a private setting and do are not wearing your cloth face covering, remember always to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue and dispose of the tissue in a lined trash can. Using the inside of your elbow is another option. Wash hands immediately with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

For professional cleanup following a social gathering that may have been impacted by COVID-19 or any other viral infection, contact your local PuroClean professionals.

Fire and smoke

What is the first thing I should do after a fire?

[VIDEO] Call PuroClean to come to your home to help do an assessment of the extent of the damage! They can begin remediation efforts immediately – which is the best way to minimize the damage of reduce the costs of the event. Even a “small” fire results in smoke/soot/odor throughout the home.

How do I secure my property after the fire?

Most restoration companies also provide board-up services to prevent possible theft. A proper board-up should include using 3/8″ plywood with 2x4s bolted from inside the dwelling over windows. The front door should have a secure lock.

Mold

How do I clean up mold?

Removing mold efficiently is harder than most people think. First, you have to wear protective clothing to reduce exposure to mold. Then, you need to isolate the mold, so that it doesn’t spread to other rooms. After that, fix the water problem and dry the affected surface. To clean up mold, scrub a mixture of household detergent and water on the surface (don’t use bleach).

How does mold affect our health?

Mold-sensitive individuals may exhibit allergy symptoms, such as sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, coughing, itchy eyes, wheezing, and skin irritation. Mold exposure can also trigger asthmatic symptoms that include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Mold can also cause irritant reactions, which are similar to those of an allergic reaction.

Water damage

Do you get water out of carpet?

Yes – we have a system for removing water from carpets, but sometimes carpets and pads must be replaced after getting wet. If mold is present, this can also affect the outcomes. If the water was clean and we can dry and sanitize them, they can sometimes be saved.

Will my homeowners insurance cover water damage?

[VIDEO] Homeowners insurance provides coverage for damage that is sudden and accidental (such as water heater ruptures or pipe bursts). However, flood damage, no matter the source of the water, is NOT covered by standard homeowners policies. Flooding can occur from storms, sewer backup, and overflowing rivers, ponds, lakes, and oceans. However, you can purchase flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program. Note that water damage that results from lack of maintenance is not covered on a standard homeowners insurance policy.
