SINCE WHEN? ALWAYS..!

Category 1 Water � That which is clean at the releasing source and does not pose a hazard if consumed by humans. Category 1 water may become progressively contaminated as it mixes with soils on or within floor coverings or building assemblies (walls, decking, subflooring). Time and temperature, which promote the growth and amplification of microorganisms in water can cause Category 1 water to degrade. Examples: burst water pipes, failed supply lines on appliances, vertically falling rainwater.. duh! Snow also falls vertcally if you cant remember Don and doug..

Thats why i dont like dealing with BIG Apt. Complexes..

only if they are not planing on using you again. I had one once that only paid just before they would call for more work. that relationship went down the crapper very fast like after the second call.

I forgot...........I also ask if they work with requisition forms...........if not........i supply one that he has to fill out on behalf of his firm.

MAYBE WE ARE A DISTINCT SOCIETY

The office guy says they will give him the message..

The categories of water in flood restoration refer to the level of contamination and potential health risks associated with the water. These categories are defined by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Here are the differences between Category 1, Category 2, and Category 3 water.

Category 1 Water (Clean Water):

Source: This water originates from a clean and sanitary source, such as a broken water supply line or faucet.
Characteristics: Category 1 water is not considered harmful initially. It does not pose a substantial threat to humans or animals.
Restoration Approach: Restoration for Category 1 water involves extraction, drying, and cleaning. Standard water restoration procedures are typically sufficient.

Category 2 Water (Grey Water):

Source: This water contains a significant degree of contamination and has the potential to cause discomfort or sickness if consumed or exposed to. It may come from sources such as a dishwasher or washing machine overflow.
Characteristics: Category 2 water may contain chemicals, microorganisms, or other contaminants. Contact with or ingestion of this water can cause health problems.
Restoration Approach: Restoration for Category 2 water includes additional steps such as antimicrobial treatments. Personal protective equipment (PPE) may be necessary during the restoration process.

Category 3 Water (Black Water):

Source: This water is grossly contaminated and can contain harmful bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Category 3 water can result from sewage backups, flooding from rivers or streams, or water from the ground surface.
Characteristics: Category 3 water poses a significant health risk. Direct contact or ingestion can lead to severe illness or even death.
Restoration Approach: Restoration for Category 3 water requires extensive measures. It involves thorough cleaning, disinfection, and sometimes the removal and replacement of affected materials. Technicians must use high levels of personal protective equipment.

It's crucial to note that the categorization of water can change over time. For example, clean water (Category 1) left untreated can become contaminated (Category 2 or 3) due to environmental factors and the presence of microbes. Prompt and appropriate action is essential in flood restoration to prevent the escalation of water contamination levels and mitigate health risks.
