Understanding Water Damage Categories
In terms of water damage repair in Placentia, the water damage category determines the scope of work and how we handle the cleanup. The industry classifies water damage by three categories:
- Category one (clean water): This comes from a sanitary source, like a broken sink line. Still, it can quickly turn into a category two if left unattended.
- Category two (gray water): This is contaminated water that is dangerous. Think backups from dishwashers, toilets with urine, and dishwashers.
- Category three (black water): This is the most dangerous category, carrying bacteria that cause a host of diseases. Sewage backups and floodwater fall into this category. Any drywall or upholstery must be removed and disposed of.
What Affects the Cost of Water Damage Restoration
Costs with damage restoration jobs always vary, but the factors that influence the cost are always the same:
- Space size: More square footage requires more time and labor.
- The water category: Categories two and three require special equipment to safely remove and clean.
- Standing water duration: How long has the water-damaged area been sitting and spreading?
- Building materials affected: Did your drywall get soaked, but only a bit spread to the flooring? Each material reacts differently to water damage.
- Drying: How much drying is needed? Bigger spaces take longer to dry.
- Repairs: Repairing an entire wall rather than a small section will add to the cost.
After we determine the scope of work, Restorerz will always let the homeowner know the estimate and will only get to work once the job is approved.
