Water damage by class
Water damage is classified from Class 1 to Class 4 to show its severity and what needs attention. Class 1 refers to minimal damage, Class 2 refers to significant damage, Class 3 signifies extensive damage, and Class 4 refers to disaster. Hence, it can be considered a critical factor in project cost calculation.
- Minor faucet leaks and other such minimal damages belong to Class 1.
- Water accumulation in the entire room covering up to a minimum of one foot of walls is a Class 2 type of damage, needing moisture removal from the structure, cleanup, and repair.
- Moisture caused by a burst pipe in the floor, wall, ceiling, insulation, and subflooring is a Class 3 category of water damage.
- Storm surges, flooding, and other water damage sources affecting stone, brick, and hardwood are classified as Class 4.
