Meet the Team at PuroClean of Springfield: Our Operations Manager, Ed Burnell

At PuroClean of Springfield, we’re more than just a restoration company — we’re a team of highly trained professionals dedicated to helping families and businesses recover from property damage with compassion, precision, and care. Every successful project depends on leadership, teamwork, and a deep commitment to customer service. Today, we’re proud to introduce the person who embodies all those values — our Operations Manager, Ed Burnell.

A Leader with Local Roots in Northern Virginia

Born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia, Ed has lived and worked in the Northern Virginia area his entire life. His deep connection to the community shapes his approach to leadership and customer care. Married for 37 years, with five children and several grandchildren, Ed’s values of family, hard work, and service run through everything he does.

When he’s not coordinating restoration projects, Ed enjoys hunting, carpentry, and spending time with his family — hobbies that reflect his steady focus, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. His time in the United States Army strengthened his discipline and problem-solving mindset, qualities that continue to guide his leadership at PuroClean of Springfield.

Experience and Expertise in Property Restoration

With more than 17 years of experience in the restoration industry — and over two years with PuroClean of Springfield — Ed brings a wealth of technical skill and hands-on knowledge to every project. His certifications include:

  • Fire & Smoke Restoration
  • Water Damage Restoration
  • Upholstery & Fabric Cleaning
  • Journeyman Fire & Smoke Restorer
  • Odor Control and BIOHazard Technician

Ed’s background also includes working as an insurance adjuster, where he developed specialized methods for cleaning, restoring, and storing contents. His innovative process has been adopted by other restoration companies, and he’s often invited to consult and help them set up their own contents divisions.

This combination of field experience, technical certifications, and leadership makes Ed a cornerstone of PuroClean’s operations — ensuring that every restoration job, from water damage cleanup to fire and smoke restoration, meets the highest industry standards.

Leadership That Inspires Confidence and Excellence

As Operations Manager, Ed oversees the day-to-day activities that keep our Springfield team running efficiently. He focuses on three pillars of operational success: training, quality control, and customer satisfaction.

His approach starts with hiring and mentoring skilled technicians who share PuroClean’s values of professionalism and compassion. Ed personally ensures that each new team member receives proper mitigation training, safety instruction, and hands-on guidance before heading into the field.

Ed’s calm, steady demeanor is one of his greatest strengths. Whether dealing with a complex fire damage restoration or a high-stress water mitigation emergency, he remains composed and solutions-oriented. This stability builds confidence — not only among our crew but also among the homeowners and business owners who trust us to restore their property.

His team describes him as “the anchor” of the operation — someone who listens, adapts, and leads by example. Under his management, the Springfield office continues to grow, improving efficiency while maintaining the personal, compassionate touch that PuroClean is known for.

Commitment to the Springfield, VA Community
