Water Removal Process: PuroClean of Brea, CA‘s certified technicians strongly care for your property and belongings while making sure water damage, both visible and invisible, is restored.

Mold and Odor Removal: Water losses not handled in a timely manner and dried down quickly can lead to secondary 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.

Many people use bleach to clean mold; however, this is an ineffective strategy as bleach does not kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s goal is to return your property to a safe and clean 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.

The 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.

Brea, CA 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 quickly removes the water.

• Our advanced pumping machines will be immediately used to remove all standing water right away upon arrival. Your affected property will be removed to be stored or discarded.
• Once the water is completely removed from your property, the equipment will be removed, and the pumped water will be discarded at an environmentally safe location.

Dehumidification & Drying

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

1. To ensure this process can be completely performed, relocating items and upholstery will be necessary.
2. Air moving machines will be placed strategically in the most appropriate locations. The areas that contain the majority of the water will be the focus to pull out trapped water. Keep in mind, these machines are very loud.
3. The water is extracted 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 will make sure the water is disposed of in another location.
4. Only after monitoring the humidity and confirming the levels have returned to normal, your items and property will be returned to the original location.

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.
