PuroClean QuickDry System™

Our QuickDry systems are 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.

During Our Water Removal Process: Our IICRC certified PuroClean of Redlands, CA water damage restoration technicians ensure that the water damage to your property – both visible and invisible is restored. They do this while keeping a high level of care for your property and belongings.

Mold and Odor Removal: Water losses not handled promptly and dried down quickly can lead to additional damage such as microbial growth, 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 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 determined, 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 method as bleach doesn’t kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s mission is to return your property to a clean and safe condition.

Odors are an indicator 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 cause health-related issues. PuroClean’s 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.

Water Damage Assessments:

• 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.

Emergency Extraction of Water in Redlands, CA

To extract the standing water from your affected area, we begin by using strategically placed commercial-grade water-removing equipment that expeditiously eliminates the water.

• When the water has been removed, any affected areas and property are removed to be stored or discarded. This first step takes place immediately and is achieved using our commercial pumps. PuroClean will begin water removal immediately using our high tech 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.
• Upon completion, the equipment will be removed and the water is discarded elsewhere by PuroClean’s professionals.

Dehumidification and Drying

Areas needing dried and dehumidified are marked, isolated, and prepped to undergo this process.

1. To ensure this process can be completely performed, relocating items and upholstery will be necessary.
2. We will place powerful air movers, focusing on the most affected areas. The most highly affected areas will be the focus, and trapped water will be removed by the machines. These powerful air movers are very loud.
3. Following this, the water will be pulled into the air by the air movers, which are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. All of the water pulled out is to be disposed of by the PuroClean professional in another location.
4. Once moisture levels return to normal, our technicians will bring back moved items to where they belong. The humidity levels are monitored closely by PuroClean technicians to make sure that things can get back to normal as quickly as possible.

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 Redlands, CA

Although the repair of water damage in Redlands, CA is a high priority, the safety of our customers and technicians is our most important priority. The following tips will help lower the risk of suffering setbacks due to heavy rain, flood, roof leaks, or faulty plumbing or AC units, regardless of whether you are mitigating or restoring water damage.

What To Do:

• Shut Off Water: Shut down the home’s water source and call a plumber for repairs.
• Be Cautious: Watch your step, as floors may be slippery. Also, watch for trip and fall hazards and for exposed electrical wires.
• Water removal: Mop as much water as possible. In cool weather, open windows to speed up the drying process and in hot weather, only if it’s safe to do so, switch your air conditioning on.
• Prop Up Upholstery: Take out all loose cushions and prop up upholstered furniture.
• Eliminate obstacles – Remove all rugs: Pick up wet rugs and remove any items that are sitting on the floor and could pose a treat when walking.
• Dry Storage Containers: Please open and dry all of your wet storage containers, bins, or suitcases. If possible, have them dry in the sun.
• Protect Your Valuables: Paintings, artwork, and any other valuables should be moved to a safe, dry place.
• Dry Clothing: Immediately dry all garments. Hang leather and fur goods to dry at room temperature.
• Furniture Protection: Put tin foil or some sort of plastic under all furniture legs touching wet carpets. Open cabinet doors and drawers to dry out interiors (but don’t force them open).
• Call PuroClean Immediately: Call PuroClean of Redlands, CA. Our trained technicians are highly skilled in Redlands, CA water damage restoration.

Do Not Do:

• Do not operate a vacuum cleaner: DO NOT USE your basic household vacuum cleaner. You can use a wet vac or wet/dry vac that is created to handle water.
• Do not touch electrical outlets: Leave cords alone. If it’s plugged in, leave it and if it’s not plugged in, leave it be. Do not touch any cords at all.
• DO NOT USE APPLIANCES: DO NOT USE TVs, radios, computers, ceiling fans, or any other electrical appliances while standing on wet carpets or floors, particularly tile or concrete floors.
• Do not let it get too hot: Try to keep wet areas as cool as possible – hot, damp areas promote mold growth

Does homeowner’s 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.
