• Water Damage Restoration by Professional Companies

Assessing Damages to Your Home
2
Water damage is nothing new for homeowners. It
can occur as a result of burst pipe, leaky roof,
flood or even due to an effort to put out a fire
incident. However, as soon as your business or
home experiences water damage, it is important to
act quickly irrespective of the source in order
to contain the damage.

Water damage restoration should be done by
professional companies so as to restore your
property back to its original state before the
damage. The company is expected to come in, carry
out an assessment of the damage and place a value
on your loss and service to restore your
property. The water damage restoration company
should be able to categorize the water damage you
have from a scale of 1 to 4. For example, a level
1 kind of damage portrays light water damage to
one area or a room where the carpet is not
saturated. Level 2 involves at least one entire
room with a saturated carpet and wicking of walls
up to 24 inches. The overhead damage such a leaky
ceiling and saturated room constitutes level 3
while level 4 is the highest damage which is
reserved for deep saturations like what you have
in flood cases.

That aside, the water damage restoration expert,
may also need to determine the category of water
contamination after assessing the damage to your
home. For example, some water restoration
companies may classify category 1 contamination
as clean water such as from a broken water pipe.
Category 2is that which begins with some degree
of contamination and could cause sickness or
discomfort if consumed by humans. As with
Category 1 water, time and temperature can cause
Category 2 water to become progressively more
contaminated.  And Category 3 water is that which
is highly contaminated and could cause death or
serious illness if consumed by humans. Examples
sewage, rising flood water from rivers and
streams, ground surface water flowing
horizontally into homes.

Once these assessments are done, then your water
damage restoration company will assemble a team
to get the water out. In some cases, it may
require pumping water out of the home or
extracting water from surfaces.  Removing
affected building materials which cannot be
restored, disinfecting and cleaning surfaces and
finally setting up equipment to structurally dry
out the property.
