PuroClean\u2019s IICRC certified technicians follow industry best practices 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:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The removal of compromised materials and contents per industry standards.<\/li>\n<li>A thorough cleaning using HEPA air filter devices and HEPA vacuums.<\/li>\n<li>A thorough cleaning of all surfaces with cleaning solutions that can include EPA registered disinfectants, followed by another HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A lot of people use bleach to clean mold; however, this is an <strong>ineffective<\/strong> method as bleach doesn\u2019t kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean\u2019s goal is to return your property to a clean and safe condition.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s (microbial volatile organic compounds) and can cause health related issues. PuroClean\u2019s approach is to follow industry standards to develop the right scope of repair for your home or business, which includes employing specialized equipment, cleaning practices, followed by recommending a clearance test to ensure your property has reached the desired goal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ongoing Communication:<\/strong> We strive to be transparent so that all parties impacted are fully informed and able to make important decisions. Throughout your water damage in Williamsburg, VA repair experience, we ensure that you and your insurance provider are fully informed on all steps of our work.

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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Emergency Extraction of Water in Williamsburg, VA<\/h3>\n<p>We begin by strategically placing commercial water removal equipment in order to quickly rid your property of standing water.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Once the water has been removed, any affected structures and property are removed to be stored or discarded. This first step takes place immediately and is carried out using our commercial pumps. Our technicians start water removal immediately using our powerful commercial water pumping equipment. Upon the finishing of the water removal procedure, PuroClean will remove all affected structures and\/or belongings whether they are to be stored or discarded.<\/li>\n<li>Upon completion, the equipment will be removed and the water is discarded elsewhere by PuroClean\u2019s employees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Drying and Dehumidification<\/h3>\n<p>Then our fucus is to identify, isolate and prep all areas that require drying and dehumidification.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Your belongings and upholstery need to be moved to ensure the process can be completely finished.<\/li>\n<li>A PuroClean technician will assess the marked off premises and choose locations for the powerful air movers. Areas of the home or business that contain the most moisture and trapped water will be the key focus, to pull out trapped water. Remember, these machines are quite loud.<\/li>\n<li>These powerful air movers are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. The water removed is disposed of professionally by our technicians at a different location.<\/li>\n<li>PuroClean technicians will put back any moved property to where they belong once moisture levels are normal. The technicians monitor humidity levels closely during this process of drying to make sure that proper drying is happening.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Final Cleaning Processes<\/h2>\n<p>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\u2019s professional process of cleaning, deodorizing and spot removal will safely and effectively remove soils and organics that are odor-causing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Our technicians will begin with a complete inspection and dry vacuuming of your carpet.<\/i>\n<li>To properly repair the affected carpet, where needed, your furniture may require repositioning.<\/li>\n<li>Pre-treatments may be required for heavily soiled areas, spots, or pet odors.<\/li>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>PuroClean&#8217;s Dos and Don&#8217;ts of Water Damage in Williamsburg, VA<\/h2>\n<p>Mitigating or restoring water damage in Williamsburg, VA is one of our primary goals.
