Here at Duraclean Restoration Specialist, we know how hopeless things can seem when your home or business has been ravaged by water or fire damage. Or, if you discover that your biggest investment and the place that your family sleeps at night is infested with dangerous mold.
The good news is that we can help! You will be amazed at what an experienced and certified restoration company like Duraclean can do to restore your property, and your life, after a disaster. We are known as the "After the Disaster Team" for a very good reason.
Fire and Smoke Damage
If your home or business falls victim to the awful event of a fire, it is important that the cleanup begins as soon as possible! Smoke residues are acidic in nature and with time they will cause surfaces to corrode and stain permanently. Smoke residues that were pressurized during the fire will permeate cracks and crevices of the building materials and will deposit odor-causing residues. Smoke odors can be difficult to remove due to their ability to penetrate and absorb into building materials. Our professional technicians have the knowledge, products and equipment to permanently remove these stubborn odors. Duraclean's trained team of professionals will eliminate all the malodors caused by fire and smoke damage through the use of our multi-stage odor decontamination process. We will work very quickly to stop the damage and restore your home and its contents back to their pre-fire condition by using cleaning systems and equipment that will help eliminate costly replacement of restorable items. Put Duraclean Restoration Specialist's phone number next to your emergency numbers and give us a call if you ever have the unfortunate experience of needing fire and smoke damage restoration.
Water Damage
Water damage can cause, not only mold growth, but also other costly losses to your home and business. Regardless of the source of water damage, an approach that is timely and appropriate is critical to reducing property damage and repair costs. Duraclean Restoration Specialist has a full inventory of specialized and professional drying equipment. We use the "Hydra-Eaze" extractor system to remove all of the water and dirt without damaging the pad or lifting the carpet.

 Carpet Cleaning
The carpets in your homes and businesses are extremely important. Unfortunately, they are often neglected. Many people think that just because their carpets look like they are clean, that they are. This is wrong! The truth is that carpets and upholstery collect dust, dirt, and germs below the surface where our eyes cannot detect it. Major carpet manufacturers recommend that you have your carpets cleaned regularly, every 12-18 months.
Many people attempt to clean their carpets themselves with rented steam cleaners or heavy duty vacuums. Doing this is not effective. These methods do not have the power to remove the deeply imbedded pet odors, soil, dirt, and dust that professional equipment does. Not only are the 'do-it-yourself' methods not as effective, but they can also damage your carpet. The world's largest carpet manufacturer, Shaw Industries, advises against 'doing it yourself' because it can lead to yellowing, overwetting, fiber tip damage, severe resoiling, and the overuse of detergent, which can be hazardous to your family's and your pets' health. The best alternative is to call us! We use a powerful truck mounted system to get your carpets as clean as they can possibly be.
Our truck mounted system uses a the hot water extraction method to get carpets as clean as they were when they were new! It also provides the fastest drying time. The water is heated to between 150 and 180 degrees F. The heat kills the bacteria and the incredible power separates all of the dirt particles. This powerful machine also pulls most of the water back out of your carpets, leaving them damp but not wet, and able to dry much faster than any other method. The world's largest carpet manufacturer, Shaw Industries, recommends this type of cleaning because it provides the "best capability for cleaning."
We couldn't agree more with Shaw Industries. The methods we use are the best out there! Our customers are always thrilled with the results.
Upholstery Cleaning
Just like your carpets, your furniture is a huge investment. So why not protect that investment by giving it the professional care it deserves?
Duraclean's technicians are specially trained in upholstery cleaning. They have received a vast education in the care of all fabric types. You can feel comfortable knowing that they will use the proper cleaning solutions on even the most delicate of upholstery fabrics. Let's face it, we (and our pets) spend a lot of time on our furniture. This can lead to spills and accidents. Our technicians are trained to use the proper solutions and special cleaning tools to ensure that your furniture gets the best clean it possibly can. Our enzyme powered chemicals kill bacteria and neutralize odors such as urine, vomit, and sour milk.
 Mold Remediation
Mold is a serious threat to not only the structure of your home or business, but also to the health of all those who are exposed to it. There are a variety of responses to toxic mold exposure. Many individuals, especially children, exhibit sever reactions such as lung tissue damage, memory loss, and in some cases even death.
Mold spores and the hair-like bodies of mold colonies are often too small to be detected by the naked eye, but when there is a large amount of mold growing on a surface it will appear as a black or greenish area. If there is mold growing behind vinyl wallpaper, colorful splotches of pink and purple will most likely appear.
Not only is mold a health hazard, it is also very damaging to your building's structure. Toxic mold colonizes particularly well in the high-cellulose materials that so many of our homes and businesses are made of. These are materials like dry wall, carpet, wall paper, fiber-board, ceiling tiles, and thermal insulation.
If you have had flooding of any kind, or you just think you may have a mold problem-Call Us! Duraclean Restoration Specialist is certified in mold remediation.
Mold remediation is the professional abatement and removal of mold. It is a complex process that demands the attention of a professionally trained and certified firm like Duraclean. Mold remediation is a very involved process and includes:
- Setting up a polyethylene containment barrier
- A negative air machine
- Removing any damaged materials
- Using HEPA (High Efficiency Particle Air) sand and vacuums
to decontaminate all horizontal and vertical surfaces
- Applying anti-fungal biocide
- Encapsulating the mold with anti-microbial agents
- In certain cases it may even be necessary to treat your
HVAC system
- Rebuilding or building back the items which were removed
during remediation
When dealing with mold, it is very important to know that serious caution needs to be taken! The improper removal of mold and mold contaminated materials can lead to the massive release of spores, which can contaminate all of the surrounding areas.
There are two primary causes of mold: One is flooding and the ensuing water damage that occurrs and the second is a wet or moist basement environment. Wet basements are incredibly common in the United States, especially in our area here in Pennsylvania. A wet basement environment is a real hazard. It not only creates mold, but causes other health issues and costly structural damage as well.
