Not all water damage should be handled the same way. 💧
The water category helps determine the level of precautions, equipment, and restoration procedures needed to properly address the damage.
Category 1 may require a straightforward response, but delays can still lead to secondary damage. As contamination increases through Categories 2 and 3, proper containment, PPE, extraction, and remediation become increasingly important.
Knowing the category is only the first step. Proper assessment and professional handling can help prevent the damage from spreading and reduce risks to the property and its occupants.
When water damage occurs, don’t leave the response to guesswork. Contact ARC Water Damage for a professional assessment 😎
