Mold and Odor Removal: Water losses not handled in a timely manner 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.

Many people use bleach to clean mold; however, this is an ineffective strategy as bleach doesn’t kill the spores; it only bleaches them. PuroClean’s mission 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.

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 Ocean Springs and Gulfport-Biloxi, MS

To remove the standing water from your affected area, we begin by using strategically located commercial grade water removing equipment that expeditiously eliminates the water.

• The first step calls for immediate water removal with our advanced pumping machines. Once the water has been extracted, all affected belongings and structures will be removed and stored or discarded.
• Once the water is completely removed from your property, the equipment will be removed, and the displaced water will be discarded at an environmentally safe location.

Drying and Dehumidification

The next step is to identify, isolate and prep all areas that require drying and dehumidification.

1. To ensure this procedure can be completely performed, removal of belongings and upholstery will be necessary.
2. Our professionals will place industrial air movers, focusing on the most affected areas. The most highly affected areas will be the focus, and trapped water will be removed by the machines. These powerful air movers are very loud.
3. During our dehumidification process, the water is pulled into the air by air movers, which are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. PuroClean technicians dispose of all the excess water in a different location.
4. PuroClean technicians will put back any relocated property to their original location once moisture levels are normal. The technicians monitor humidity levels closely during the drying process to ensure proper drying is happening.

• 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.

To Do:

• Eliminate obstacles – Remove rugs: Pick up wet rugs and take out any items that may be sitting on the floor and could pose a treat when walking.

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.
