Our QuickDry systems is 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.

The Water Removal Process: The PuroClean of Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL has IICRC certified technicians that will ensure the water damage that is both seen and hidden is restored, while being respectful of your property and belongings.

Mold and Odor Removal: Water losses not handled and dried down quickly can lead to additional 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 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 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.

A lot of 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 clean and safe 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 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 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.

Emergency Extraction of Water in Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL

We begin by extracting any standing water present on your premises using high-grade equipment strategically placed to remove all water from the area.

• Once the water has been removed, any affected structures and property are relocated to be stored or discarded. This first step happens right away and is carried out using our advanced pumping machines. PuroClean will begin water removal immediately using our powerful commercial water pump machines. Upon the finishing of the water removal procedure, PuroClean will remove all affected structures and/or belongings regardless if you’re keeping or trashing them.
• Once completed, the equipment will be removed and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean’s employees.

Drying & Dehumidification

Afterwards, our goal is to identify, isolate and prep all areas that up for drying and dehumidification.

1. Relocation of belongings and upholstery are required to ensure that the process can be accurately done and completed.
2. A PuroClean technician will assess the isolated area and choose locations for air moving machines. Areas of the home or business that have the most moisture and trapped water will be the key focus, to pull out trapped water. Remember, these machines are quite loud.
3. 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.
4. PuroClean techs will put back any moved property to where they belong once moisture levels are normal. The technicians monitor the humidity levels closely during the process of drying to make sure that proper drying is happening.

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 Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL ‘s Water Damage Dos and Don’ts

Although the repair of water damage in Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL is a high priority, the safety of our customers and technicians is our most important priority. The following tips will help reduce risk of suffering setbacks due to a rain event, flood, roof leaks or faulty plumbing or AC units; regardless of whether you’re mitigating or restoring water damage.

What To Do:

• Shut off the main water supply: Turn off your home’s water supply. You may need to call a plumber for repairs.
• Be very careful: Watch your step as floors may be slippery and wet. Keep a lookout for obstacles and any exposed electrical wiring. USE CAUTION.
• Water removal: Mop as much water as possible. In cooler weather, open windows to speed up drying and in hot weather, only if it’s safe to do so, put your air conditioning on.
• Upholstery should be propped up: All loose cushions and upholstered furniture should be propped up in a dry place.
• Deal with Area Rugs and Obstacles: Take out rugs and pick up any items that may be sitting on the floor.
• 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: Quickly dry all articles of clothing. Hang leather and fur goods to dry at room temperature.
• Furniture Protection: Put aluminum foil or some sort of plastic under all furniture legs that are touching wet carpets. Open cabinet doors and drawers to dry out interiors (but don’t force them open).

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.
