Mold and Odor Removal: Water losses not handled promptly 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. They 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 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 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 cause health-related issues.

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.

Emergency Extraction of Water in Murfreesboro, TN

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

• The first step consists of immediate water removal with our advanced water pumps. Once the water has been extracted, all damaged items and materials will be removed and stored or discarded.
• The equipment will be removed upon completion, and the PuroClean technicians will discard the water at another location.

Dehumidification & Drying

The affected areas that need dried and dehumidified are marked, isolated, and prepped to undergo this process.

1. To ensure this step can be completely performed, relocating items and upholstery will be necessary.
2. A PuroClean professional will assess the isolated area and choose locations for air moving machines. Areas of the home or business with the most moisture and trapped water will be the key focus to pull out trapped water. Remember, these machines are quite loud.
3. The water is extracted into the air by these powerful air movers specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. Our technicians will make sure the water is disposed of in another location.
4. Once the moisture levels return to normal, our technicians will bring back relocated items to where they belong in your house. Our technicians closely monitor these humidity levels to ensure that things can get back to normal as soon as possible.

• Our technicians will begin with a complete inspection and dry vacuuming of your carpet.

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 restoration that results from a lack of maintenance.
