During Our Water Removal Process: Our IICRC certified PuroClean of Omaha, NE water damage restoration technicians ensure that the damage caused by water to your property – both visible and invisible is restored, all while caring for 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 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 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 method 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 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 business or home, which includes employing specialized equipment, cleaning practices, followed by recommending a clearance test to ensure your property has reached the desired goal.

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.

Omaha, NE Emergency Water Extraction

PuroClean will commence by removing all standing water from your premises. We strategically use commercial grade water removal equipment to remove the water as quickly as possible.

• After the water has been removed, any affected structures and property are removed to be stored or discarded. This first step takes place immediately and is carried out using our commercial pumps. PuroClean will begin water removal immediately using our high tech commercial water pumping equipment. Upon completion of the water removal procedure, PuroClean will remove all damaged structures and/or belongings regardless if you’re keeping or trashing them.
• After the water is completely removed from the premises, the equipment will be removed, and the displaced water will be disposed of at an environmentally safe location.

Drying & Dehumidification

Areas to be 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. When ready, the PuroClean technician will place air moving machines around the isolated area. Keep in mind that these machines are loud. The air movers will be concentrated on parts of the house or business that contain moisture to remove any trapped water.
3. Following this, the water will be pulled 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. All of the water pulled out will be disposed of by the PuroClean professional in another location.
4. Once the moisture levels return to normal, your PuroClean technicians will bring back relocated property and items to where they belong. The humidity levels are monitored closely by PuroClean technicians to make sure 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 that results from a lack of maintenance.
