Trust PuroClean of Nashville, TN for your Water Damage Remediation

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 North Nashville has IICRC certified technicians that will ensure the water damage that is both visible and invisible is restored, while being respectful of your property and belongings.

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 to develop. 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.

Many 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 mission 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. 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.

Nashville, TN Emergency Water Extraction

To remove the standing water from your home or business, we begin by using strategically placed commercial grade water removing equipment that expeditiously eliminates the water.

• Our specialized pumping equipment will be used to remove all standing water immediately upon arrival. Your affected property will be removed to be stored or discarded.
• Upon completion, the equipment will be removed and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean’s professionals.

Drying & Dehumidification

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

1. Relocation of belongings and upholstery will be necessary to ensure that the process can be thoroughly completed.
2. When ready, the PuroClean professional will place air moving machines around the isolated area. Keep in mind that these machines are loud. The air movers will be focusing on areas of the house or business that contain moisture to remove any trapped water.
3. The water is extracted into the air by these powerful air movers, which are 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. To ensure that everything is drying, your PuroClean technician will monitor moisture levels. Once moisture levels are normal, any removed property will be placed back to their original locations.

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.

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.
