Class 1 water damage involves the least amount of water, absorption, and evaporation load, typically affecting only part of a room or area.
The IICRC S500 standard classifies water damage into three categories based on the level of contamination: Category 1 (Clean Water), Category 2 (Grey Water), and Category 3 (Black Water).
Air movers help to increase airflow and evaporation, which speeds up the drying process of wet materials.
A moisture meter is used to detect and measure moisture levels behind walls, under floors, and in other areas that are not visible.
The first step in the restoration process is to assess the extent of the damage to determine the appropriate course of action.
