Water Removal Process: PuroClean of Stamford, CT‘s certified technicians strongly care for your property and belongings while being sure that water damage, both visible and invisible, is restored.

Odor and Mold 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. 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 areas 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 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 Stamford, CT

We begin by strategically using commercial water removal equipment to quickly get rid of standing water.

• Once the water has been removed, any affected areas and belongings are removed to be stored or discarded. This first step happens right away and is carried out using our commercial pumps. Our technicians start water removal immediately using our high tech commercial water pumping equipment. Upon completion of the water removal procedure, PuroClean will remove all affected structures and/or belongings whether they are to be stored or discarded.
• Once the water is completely removed from your property, the equipment is removed, and the pumped water will be disposed of at an environmentally safe location.

Dehumidification & Drying

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

1. This procedure calls for all belongings to be removed to thoroughly complete the water removal.
2. When ready, the PuroClean professional will place air moving machines around the isolated area. Keep in mind that these machines are quite noisy. The air movers will be focusing on areas of the house or business that contain moisture to displace any trapped water.
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 the water that was removed in a different location.
4. Once the moisture levels are normal, your PuroClean technicians will bring back relocated items to their original location. The humidity levels are closely monitored by our technicians to make sure that things can get back to normal as soon as possible.

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.

Does homeowners insurance cover water or flood damage restoration? 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.
