What should you know about Water Losses?
Types of Water Losses
- Category 1 (Clean Water): Source of water with no contaminants. Generally a broken supply line from sinks, tubs, etc.
- Category 2 (Grey Water): Source of water has a mild amount of contaminants. Generally water discharged from a dishwasher, laundry, toilet, etc.
- Category 3 (Black Water): Source of water is heavily contaminated. Generally water contaminated by sewage, unknown bacteria, dead animals/insects, etc.
Class Rating
The IICRC clarifies a loss using Four (4) “classes” of destruction.
- Class 1: The lowest and easiest to deal with, this accounts for only part of a room or area being affected.
- Class 2: Affected entire room, carpeting, or cushioning, the wetness has wicked up the walls 12” and moisture in structural materials.
- Class 3: Saturated ceilings, wall, insulation, carpet, and sub-floors.
- Class 4: This accounts for a Special Drying situation. Examples may include hardwood floors, brick or stone.
