Why Water Damage Restoration?

It doesn’t take a large amount of water to lead to damage — just a few gallons if it isn’t mopped and wet-vac’d up in the first few minutes.  After that it will have soaked carpet and made its way through each and every tiny opening to penetrate deeply into the structure itself.  It even wicks up inside walls as much as a few feet.  It promotes the growth of mold and bacteria, disintegrates drywall, and causes wood to warp, crack, de-laminate, and even rot.  Deep-down excess moisture can last for weeks and sometimes even months, causing progressive harm all along the way.  So the primary job of professional water damage restoration is to turn those weeks into just a few days.

An Overview

IICRC (www.iicrc.org, the leading international Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification non-profit), bases their treatment guidelines on a two-part assessment:  the amount of water (Class) and the degree of contamination (Category).

In Class 1 situations very little carpet is wet and only part of a room is affected.  If one or more rooms are fully involved with wet carpet and wet walls, that’s Class 2.  Class 3 involves soaked carpets, wet sub-flooring, and wetness reaching over a foot up inside walls.  In Class 4 even less porous materials such as stonework and hardwoods are also saturated.

Category 1 flooding comes directly from clean sources.  But after 24 hours there’s been enough time for bacteria, fungi, and viruses to multiply and pose a health hazard.  Category 2 comes from used sources such as wash sinks, dishwashers,  and washing machines.  Likely to contain both disease organisms and nutrients, extra sanitation is called for.  Category 3 unsanitary water comes from natural flooding and any source involving sewage such as a toilet or sewer backup.  Exceptional cleaning and disinfection are required as pathogens are plentiful and even become airborne.
