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, potentially 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 established, they will implement engineering controls and containment to prevent cross-contamination to unaffected sections 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.

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.

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 employee in another location.

PuroClean’s Dos and Don’ts of Water Damage in Kingston, NY

Water damage repair in Kingston, NY is very important, but the safety of all parties is our first priority. Whether mitigating or restoring water damage, the following tips will help reduce the risk of you suffering a setback due to a heavy rain, flood, faulty plumbing, leaking AC, or roof.

To Do:

• Shut Off Water: Shut off the home’s water source and call a plumber for repairs.
• Use Caution: Floors may be slippery so be sure to watch your step. Also, watch for any trip and fall hazards and for any exposed electrical wires.
• Water removal: Mop as much water as possible. In cool weather, open windows to help speed up the drying process and in hot weather, only if it’s safe to do so, switch on your A/C.
• Upholstery should be propped up: All loose cushions and upholstered furniture should be propped up in a dry place.
• Remove obstacles – Remove all rugs: Pick up wet rugs and remove all items that are sitting on the floor and could pose a treat when walking.
• Dry Storage Containers: Open wet suitcases or storage bins; and, if possible, have them dry in the sunlight.
• Protect Your Valuables: Paintings, artwork, and any other valuables should be moved to a safe, dry place.
• Dry Wet Clothing: Quickly dry all wet garments. Hang leather goods and furs to dry at room temperature.
• Furniture Protection: Put tinfoil or some sort of plastic under all furniture legs touching wet carpets. Open any drawers and cabinet doors to dry out interiors (but don’t force them open).
• Contact PuroClean ASAP: Call PuroClean of Kingston, NY. Experienced technicians highly trained in Kingston, NY water damage are ready to come to you.

What Not To Do:

• DO NOT VACUUM: You shouldn’t use a traditional everyday vacuum cleaner. Only use a wet vac, the type specifically created to handle water.
• Don’t mess with electrical outlets: DO NOT unplug or plug any electrical cords or outlets and don’t touch anything that is plugged in.
• Don’t use electrical appliances: DO NOT touch or operate any electrical appliances, such as TVs, computers, radios, fans, or anything that may be plugged into electric power – and ESPECIALLY while you are standing on any wet floor, regardless of the material.

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.
