During the evaluation phase, we assess the damage by determining the water category (ranging from 1 to 3) and the level of contamination. This assessment helps us make informed decisions on what items can be salvaged and what needs to be discarded based on the different types of water.
- Category 1 – This category pertains to damage caused by clean water sources such as broken water lines, overflowing sinks, or fresh rainwater.
- Category 2 – This category includes situations where the water is moderately contaminated with substances. Examples include dishwasher or washing machine backflows, toilet overflow without feces, or remnants of a broken aquarium.
- Category 3 – Unfortunately, this category involves exposure to harmful elements such as pathogens, toxins, or other hazardous agents. Common sources of this type of water include sewage, waste line disruptions, or flooding from seawater, rivers, and streams.
Our process involves water removal or extraction, followed by drying and dehumidification. We also apply antimicrobials to ensure a thorough treatment.

Our range features powerful air movers, advanced air scrubbers, efficient dehumidifiers, accurate moisture meters, state-of-the-art thermal imaging cameras, and highly precise thermo-hygrometers, among other innovative tools.
