High Standards
The best practices of water damage restoration remediation and safety are outlined by International Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). The IICRC document outlines the principles behind safe and ethical water damage restoration.
As mentioned, multiple sources could have caused the flood. Water damage can be placed into one of three classifications defined by IICRC to categorize the risks. These are based on how much contamination there is in the water that has caused the damage to the property.
For example, in a category 1 situation, the source is usually a toilet tank, a drinking fountain or a water faucet. While always sanitary and clean, if it isn’t cleaned up quickly it can become contaminated and lead to a Category 2 water loss.
Category 2 water (or grey water) loss involves water that has biological, chemical or physical contaminants that would cause illness if ingested. Examples are washing machine overflow, dishwasher overflow, sump pump failures, flush from sink drains and toilet overflow with urine only.
Category 3 is the worst classification and is extremely unsanitary and hazardous to your health if ingested. Once referred to as black water, it may contain heavy metals, organic matters, silt, pesticides or toxic organic substances. Additionally, flood waters can be contaminated with soil bacteria, decaying insects, animal droppings, oils and fluids from roadways, and fertilizers and pesticides from fields or gardens.
Effective Equipment
When it comes to water damage restoration and remediation, it is crucial to use the proper emergency water removal equipment to dry out the area quickly to avoid more damage, mold and mess. Three options that might be used on your home are:
- Air movers are small drying machines that blow air throughout the area. As the air circulates, it helps dry the space quickly and efficiently. Stanley Restoration has many sizes; the technician will choose and place multiple units for maximum effect.
- A dehumidifier removes moisture from the air (not from surfaces.). If you leave wet air, the excess moisture can promote the growth of mold and mildew. Commercial dehumidifiers are a big advancement over home appliances. A standard unit used in water damage restoration can remove approximately 150 pints of water from the air every 24 hours.
- Air scrubbers work to clean the air by eliminating odors and particles that cause them, like the smells associated with mildew and mold. There are wet air scrubbers and dry air scrubbers. Wet air scrubbers utilize a wet filter. This catches airborne particles and keeps them from recirculation. Dry air scrubbers have an ionic purifier to perform a similar function. Our emergency water removal experts will evaluate your situation and recommend the best solution.
