Procedures for Water Damage Categories

Water damage can be devastating and leave your house unsafe and unlivable. Whether a level I or level III, we’re trained to clean and restore your home with as little disruption as possible.

1

Category 1

 

Clean Water

Category 1 water intrusions are the result of compromised sanitary water supply lines. In order for a situation to remain Category 1, water must not have sat in a structure for more than 72 hours, and materials affected must be clean and well maintained.

2

Category 2

 

Toilet Overflows, Washer Leaks, Water Entering from Below Grade

Water that contains a significant degree of chemical, biological and/or physical contamination is said to be Category 2. If the water source was originally Category 1, the water will degrade to Category 2 after 72 hours. When water is a Category 2, it will become a Category 3 after 48 hours.

3

Category 3

 

Sewer Backup, Flood Waters

When water intrusion results from a grossly unsanitary source, carries disease causing agents, or when water has dwelled in a structure for more than 120 hours, it is said to be Category 3. Regardless of the initial source, water can be deemed Category 3 if it is allowed to dwell in the structure for five days.
