A virus is a germ, a microorganism smaller than a bacterium that can’t reproduce or grow apart from a living cell.

If you feel that your home or office has been impacted by the COVID-19 or any other virus or infection, contact PuroClean of Williamsburg. Cleaning your home after it has been compromised with the coronavirus or any other infectious disease is an important step to keeping yourself and your family safe. Our IICRC certified professionals are trained to handle virus decontamination and protection with discretion. We will restore your property to its pre-event condition.


Maintaining a clean environment is the key to reducing the spread of viruses. Many have cleaned for appearance; however, recent virus outbreaks have highlighted the need to deep clean for health.
For virus decontamination and protection, contact PuroClean, your Paramedics of Property Damage®, at 757-208-7377. A risk of exposure is always possible with virus decontamination and protection. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to hire a well known and established firm with certified, experienced technicians. This will help to avoid the liability dangers that may arise from improper cleaning along with mitigating the risk of spreading potentially contagious pathogens.
Every time technicians handle potentially hazardous materials; they are doing so at significant risk. Thus, following proper training and safety protocols when preforming virus decontamination and protection services is crucial. This is important not only for their own personal safety but also for the individuals who will reside in the property after these and other biohazard cleanup services are complete.
In an effort to curtail the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, which continues to rise globally, health and government officials maintain that the public must take necessary measures to protect themselves.
One of the best ways to slow the progress of the coronavirus is to perform virus decontamination and protection. PuroClean’s team of highly trained IICRC professionals uses the RapidDefense™ system to provide deep mitigation cleaning in areas compromised by a coronavirus or Influenza, or any other respiratory infection impacting your property.
Using this process, our team will carefully contain the area and will minimize the risk of pathogens spreading using hospital-grade Environmental Protection Agency-registered (EPA) 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. These methods of cleaning can be utilized for institutions, commercial, and residential properties. Call us for more information on how we can help clean your property.
