Trust PuroClean of Stuart and the Treasure Coast 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 Stuart and the Treasure Coast has certified water removal technicians that will ensure the visible and invisible water damage is restored, while respectfully caring for 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, potentially impact indoor air quality, and 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 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 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 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.

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.

Emergency Extraction of Water in Stuart and the Treasure Coast

Qualified specialists will commence by removing all standing water from your affected areas. We strategically place commercial grade water removal equipment to remove the water as quickly as possible.

• After the water has been removed, any affected structures and belongings are relocated 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 pump machines. Upon completion of the water removal procedure, PuroClean will remove all damaged structures and/or belongings whether they are to be stored or discarded.
• Once completed, the equipment will be removed and the water will be discarded elsewhere by PuroClean’s professionals.

Dehumidification and Drying

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

1. This procedure calls for all belongings to be relocated to thoroughly complete the water removal.
2. Air moving machines will be located strategically in the most appropriate locations. The areas that contain the majority of the water will be the focus to pull out trapped water. Please note, these machines are very loud.
3. These air movers are specially designed to increase evaporation in the given space and create airflow so dehumidifiers can be most effective. The water that was removed is disposed of professionally by our technicians at a separate location.
4. Only after monitoring the humidity and confirming the levels have returned to normal, your items will be returned to the original location.

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.

PuroClean Stuart and the Treasure Coast‘s Water Damage Dos and Don’ts

Although the repair of water damage in Stuart and the Treasure Coast is a high priority, safety of our customers and technicians is our most important goal. The following tips will help reduce risk of suffering setbacks due to a rain event, flood, roof leaks or faulty plumbing or AC units; regardless of whether you’re mitigating or restoring water damage.

To Do:

• Shut off main water supply: Turn off your home’s water supply. You may also need to call a plumber for repairs.
• Be Cautious: Watch your step, as floors may be slippery. Also, watch for any trip and fall hazards as well as for any exposed electrical wires.
• Water removal: Mop as much water as possible. In cool weather, open windows to speed up the drying process and in hot weather, only if it’s safe to do so, put on your A/C.
• Prop Up Upholstery: Remove all loose cushions and prop up upholstered furniture.
• Deal with Area Rugs and Obstacles: Remove rugs and pick up any items that are sitting on the floor.
• Dry Storage Containers: Open wet suitcases or storage boxes; and, if possible, dry them in the sun.
• Protect Your Valuables: Paintings, artwork, and any other valuables should be moved to a safe, dry place.
• Dry Wet Clothing: Quickly dry any wet garments. Hang leather goods and furs to dry at room temperature.

• Contact PuroClean ASAP: Call PuroClean of Stuart and the Treasure Coast. Experienced technicians highly trained in Stuart and the Treasure Coast water damage are ready to come to you.

What You Should Not Do:

• DO NOT USE APPLIANCES: DO NOT USE TVs, radios, computers, ceiling fans, or any other electrical appliances while you are standing on wet floors or carpets, particularly concrete or tile floors.

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.
