Importance of Water Damage Classification

For water damage restoration, knowing the level of damage caused by the water intrusion is important. It's necessary to determine the restoration process to restore the integrity of the affected area. Water damage classification eventually helps to obtain the benefits of restoration which are:

  • Hygiene and health safety
  • Prevention of further damage
  • Peace of mind
  • Preservation of the property value

This is how classification contributes to a successful water damage restoration.

Classes of Water Damage

There are 4 classes of water damage, each indicating a distinct level of damage. These are:

Class 1: It's the presence of water at the minimum level that requires minor restoration to bring back the pre-condition of the affected materials or areas that are mostly non-porous.

Class 2: In this case, a significant amount of water is absorbed by the affected surfaces. To get rid of this damage condition, comprehensive water extraction is required.

Class 3: It indicates severe conditions where walls, subfloor, ceilings, etc. become moistened by the water where a specialized extraction technique is necessary.

Class 4: When the excessive presence of water compromises the structural strength of a property, that's class 4. In this situation, it takes time for the drying process to bring back the integrity of different saturated parts such as hardwood, stone, bricks, etc.

Our Water Damage Restoration Process

Our comprehensive water damage restoration process includes the following: 

Inspection: First, we conduct an inspection to assess the damage caused by water and classify the water.

Estimating: Then, we conduct an estimation to determine the need for manpower, materials, and the overall cost of restoration.

Categorization: Afterward, we categorize the water to identify whether the intruded water is clean, grey water, or black water.

Water extraction: Then, we thoroughly extract the standing water from the property. 

Structure drying: After removing water, we dry the area to prevent mold growth.

Content drying: We also conduct content drying to prevent further damage.
