Trust PuroClean of Scottsdale, AZ for your Water Damage Restoration

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.

The Water Removal Process: The PuroClean of Scottsdale, AZ has technicians that are IICRC certified that will ensure the water damage that is both seen and hidden is restored, while respectfully caring for your property and belongings.

Mold and Odor Removal: Water losses not handled and dried down quickly can lead to additional damage such as microbial growth, as well as cause structural components to lose their integrity, possibly 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 method as bleach doesn’t 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 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.

Scottsdale, AZ Emergency Water Extraction

To extract the standing water from your home or business, we begin by using strategically located high-grade water removing equipment that expeditiously eliminates the water.

• Our specialized pumping equipment will be used to remove all standing water immediately upon arrival. Your affected property will be removed to be stored or discarded.
• Once completed, our machines will be removed and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean’s professionals.

Dehumidification and Drying

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

1. Relocation of belongings and upholstery will be necessary to ensure that the process can be thoroughly completed.
2. When ready, the PuroClean technician will place air moving machines around the affected premises. Keep in mind that these machines are quite noisy. The air movers will be focusing on areas of the house or business that contain moisture to pull out any trapped water.
3. The water is pulled into the air by these powerful air movers, which are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. PuroClean technicians dispose of the water in another location.
4. PuroClean techs will put back any moved property to where they belong once moisture levels return to normal. The technicians monitor humidity levels closely during this process of drying to ensure proper drying is taking place.

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.

PuroClean’s Dos and Don’ts of Water Damage in Scottsdale, AZ

Although the repair of water damage in Scottsdale, AZ is a high priority, safety of our customers and technicians is our most important priority.

To Do:

• Be extra careful: Watch where you step as flooring may be slippery and wet. 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 help speed up the drying process and in hot weather, only if it’s safe to do so, switch your A/C on.
• 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: Remove rugs and pick up all items that are sitting on the floor.

• Dry Clothing: Quickly dry all articles of clothing. Hang leather and fur goods to dry at room temperature.

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.
