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 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.

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.

Temecula, CA 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 quickly removes the water.

• The first step consists of immediate water removal through our advanced pumping machines. Once the water is removed, all damaged items and materials will be removed and stored or discarded.
• Once completed, the equipment will be removed and the water will be disposed of off-site by PuroClean’s professionals.

Drying and Dehumidification

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

1. To ensure this step can be completely performed, removal of belongings and upholstery will be necessary.
2. When ready, the PuroClean professional will place air moving machines around the affected premises. Please note that these machines are quite noisy. The air movers will be focusing on areas 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 is to be disposed of by the PuroClean employee in another location.
4. Only after monitoring the humidity and confirming the levels have returned to normal, your items and property will be returned to their original location.

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.
