What Are the Different Types of Water Damage?
The classification system for water damage, as established by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration (IICRC), has three distinct categories based on the water’s origin and cleanliness level. These are:
Category 1 water damage refers to the least harmful form of water damage. This category involves clean water from sources such as broken water supply lines, tub or sink overflows with no contaminants, or appliance malfunctions involving water supply lines. Although this type of water doesn’t pose a substantial threat to human health, it can do exceptional damage to a home and its contents without prompt treatment.
Category 2 water damage, also known as gray water, involves water with a significant degree of chemical or physical contaminants such as dish soap or laundry detergent. These elements can cause discomfort or illness following exposure or consumption. Sources of gray water include dishwasher or washing machine overflows, flush from sink drains, or water from a sump pump failure. Professional intervention is necessary to prevent the situation from escalating into a more serious threat.
Category 3 water damage, known as black water, is the most severe type. This category involves water contaminated with human waste and potentially toxic organic matter from sources such as sewage, seawater, rising water from rivers or streams, and ground surface water. Category 3 water contains harmful pathogens, toxins, and other dangerous materials, leading to severe health effects if not handled correctly.
The Residential Water Damage Restoration Process
Depending on the source and extent of water damage, the restoration process can vary significantly. Our highly trained and experienced technicians will carefully assess your property to craft a plan that addresses your specific needs. Each project has unique components. However, the water damage restoration process typically includes:
A thorough inspection of your property allows our trained technicians to understand the extent and type of water damage, enabling us to develop the most effective plan of action.
Standing water must be eliminated before restoration can begin. Our team uses powerful pumps and vacuum units which can rapidly remove hundreds or thousands of gallons of water from your property, helping to prevent further damage to the structure and contents. Thorough water extraction also helps to inhibit mold growth.
Following water extraction, your walls and floors might appear dry. However, a closer inspection will likely reveal they are still saturated. We use specialized equipment to remove water vapor and moisture that's harder to access. Proper drying and dehumidification help prevent the walls and floors from swelling, warping, or breaking down. It also, like water removal, helps to discourage mold growth.
Water damage can affect your furniture, clothing, and other personal items. At Revive Property Restoration, we clean, sanitize, and disinfect all restorable items. Our professionals use a range of techniques to clean your belongings, and they're also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.
The final step involves restoring your home to its pre-damage condition. This could involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall and installing new carpet, or major restorations, such as reconstructing damaged areas of your home. Our crews are composed of licensed and insured tradespeople from industries including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, and more. We are committed to dispatching the right individuals for every task to help ensure the smoothest and swiftest recovery of your property.
