Classes of Water

Without warning, emergencies can strike.  An immediate response is critical especially when water damage strikes.  Did you know there are different classes of water that can cause a loss in a home?  The classes of water are defined as the following:

Class 1 – A single room is affected, with little to no wet carpet, with water only on surfaces like wood or concrete.

Class 2 – This class effects and the entire room, wetness along the walls (12” or more), and moisture still in the structure.

Class 3 – Ceilings, walls, carpet, and insulation are all saturated with liquid or water. This is often due to water coming from overhead.

Class 4 – Water saturates in materials with very low levels of permeation, like hardwood or stone.
