A Testimony of Diversity is Shown in PuroClean’s Commitment to Clients

PuroClean's Paramedics of Property Damage is Steadfast to the Hispanic Community

PuroClean Professional Services is a bi-lingual, minority owned business that strives to provide world class service to consumers in the Greater Cleveland and Akron Metropolitan areas through a referral network of insurance, real estate, and contracting professionals.

George Cruz, managing partner, has more than 10 years of experience accompanied with a proven track record of building and managing successful sales and operations platforms for both small and large business organizations.

The Greater Cleveland and Akron areas have experienced great cultural diversity over the century. It has been George and PuroClean's experience that this segment of the population is often under-serviced due to the small number of contractors that are both bi-lingual and minority owned. In response to the growing demand from the Hispanic Community, PuroClean Professional Services now offers a Spanish version of their business forms

At PuroClean Professional Services our promise is simple. We do whatever it takes. We understand that a property disaster is disruptive and emotionally unsettling. That is why we constantly strive to provide unexpected extras in order to "WOW" our customer - we do whatever it takes to get their life back in order.

Cold Weather Approaching Can Lead to Frozen Pipes, Property Damage

PuroClean's Paramedics of Property Damage Provide Tips on How to Prevent Frozen Pipes

As winter weather sets in, and cold temperatures cause water to freeze and expand, homeowners are at a risk of damage from frozen pipes. Whether a pipe is plastic or metal, it cannot withstand the pressure caused by the expansion of freezing water.

According to the American Red Cross, pipes that freeze most frequently are those that are exposed to the severe cold, like outdoor hose bibs, swimming pool supply lines, water sprinkler lines, and water supply pipes in unheated interior areas like basements and crawl spaces, attics, garages, or kitchen cabinets. Also, pipes that run against exterior walls that have little or no insulation are also subject to freezing. Pipe freezing is a particular problem in warmer regions where pipes often run through uninsulated or underinsulated attics or crawl spaces.

PuroClean, known as "The Paramedics of Property Damage," is a professional mitigation company specializing in property restoration and responding to water damage emergencies that can be caused by frozen pipes. This time of year, we experience an increased number of property emergencies due to frozen pipes.

To help reduce the risk of frozen pipes, take a look at the following tips:

- Make sure all pipes in unheated areas are insulated
- When it is extremely cold outside, let cold water drip from the faucet because running a small amount of water helps prevent pipes from freezing
- Keep the heat on if you are going away during cold weather
- Keep the thermostat set at the same temperature both during day and night
- Add insulation to basements, attics and garages to maintain higher temperatures
