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 determined, 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.

Many people use bleach to clean mold; however, this is an ineffective approach as bleach doesn’t kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s goal is to return your property to a safe and clean 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 can cause health related issues.

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.

Dehumidification & Drying

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

1. The moving of belongings and upholstery will be necessary to ensure that the process can be finished completely.
2. When ready, the PuroClean technician will place air moving machines around the isolated area. Keep in mind that these machines are quite noisy. The air movers will be focusing on areas of the house or business that contain moisture to displace any trapped water.
3. The water is sucked 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. Our technicians dispose of the water in another location.
4. Once moisture levels return to normal, our technicians will bring back relocated items and property to where they belong in your house. The humidity levels are closely monitored by PuroClean technicians to ensure that things can get back to normal as soon as possible.

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

Repairing water damage in Lindenhurst, 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 lower the risk of you suffering a setback due to a rain event, flood, problem plumbing, leaky AC, or roof.

To Do:

• Shut off main water supply: Turn off your home’s water supply. You may also need to call a plumber for repairs.
• Be Cautious: Due to wet floors, make sure to watch your step. Also, watch for any trip and fall hazards and for exposed electrical wires.
• Water removal: Mop as much water as possible. In cooler weather, open windows to help 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.
• Remove obstacles – Remove all rugs: Pick up wet rugs and take out any items that are sitting on the floor and/or in the main walkway area.
• Dry Storage Containers: Open wet suitcases or storage boxes; and, if possible, dry them in the sunlight.
• Protect Your Valuables: Paintings, artwork, and any other valuables should be relocated to a safe, dry place.
• Dry Clothing: Immediately dry all articles of clothing. Hang leather and fur goods to dry at room temperature.
• Protect Your Furniture: Place aluminum foil or plastic underneath furniture legs on wet carpeting. Open (but do not force) drawers and cabinet doors to dry out the inside.
• Contact PuroClean ASAP: Call PuroClean of Lindenhurst, NY. Experienced technicians highly trained in Lindenhurst, NY water damage are waiting to come to you.

Do Not Do:

• DO NOT VACUUM: You should not use a regular everyday vacuum cleaner. Only use a wet vac, the type specifically created to deal with water.
• Don’t mess with electrical outlets: DO NOT plug or unplug any electrical cords or outlets and don’t touch anything that is plugged in.
• Do not use any appliances: DO NOT touch or run any electrical appliances, such as televisions, computers, radios, fans, or anything that is or may be plugged into electric power – and ESPECIALLY while you are standing on any wet floor, regardless of the material.
• Do not turn on your heat: The cooler you can keep your affected area, the better. Hotter temperatures encourage mold growth.

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.
