Water Damage Assessment & Inspections

Basement Cleanup

What Is Water Damage Assessment?

Water damage assessments allow our team to thoroughly assess the extent and type of water damage. These assessments include multiple steps for a successful assessment, such as inspections and water damage classifications. 

What Is Water Damage Inspection?

Water damage inspections leverage the latest technology and equipment like moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to examine the damage itself. This is the important first step in your home’s water damage assessment.

While water damage assessments are the overview of damages, inspections are geared toward damage.

Water Damage Assessment Steps

Storm Damage

Water Damage Inspections

Water damage assessments start with an in-depth inspection of the damage. Your weDRY Restoration water damage inspector will use proven methods and the latest technology to identify and examine areas of excess saturation. We’ll also use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to get a full understanding of the water damage.

Water Categorization

After the inspection, we categorize the water to determine the next steps and best cleanup methods. Below are the three types of water categories.

Water Classification

Another aspect of our water damage assessment is water classification. Classification looks at the extent of water contamination within the home. 

Class 1. Water that only affects a portion of a room with little to no water absorption. 

Class 2. Water with high levels of absorption that affects an entire room or the carpet’s cushion pad. 

Class 3. Water with a significant amount of absorption and evaporation. Water in this class usually exceeds two feet. 

Class 4. Water that has deeply saturated an area often requires the most specialized drying solutions.
