Here’s a quick breakdown of assessment versus inspection:

What Is Water Damage Inspection?

Water damage inspection is how our team finds the problem. We’ll find it whether it’s a burst pipe, clog, or sewage blockage. Once found, we’ll create a list of remediable problems: what can be salvaged versus what requires a more comprehensive replacement process. 

What Is Water Damage Assessment?

Once the information has been gathered, we’ll look at it in detail. Crusty or blackened spots will usually lead to the source of the exposure, giving our technicians a greater understanding of what needs to be restored. Consider this the immediate follow-up step to inspection. 

Water Damage Inspection Steps

The inspection process is made to be simple. Six easy steps allow us to seamlessly locate, and remediate water damage. Carried out by our team of professionals, your home will undergo this informative process: 

 Water Damage Inspection - All Phase Roofing & Restoration

Find the Source of the Water

Locate and remediate. Thermal images show our team what spots have obtained the most damage, leading to a source.

Assess the Full Scope of the Damage

Has the damage spread to multiple rooms? How long has it been there, and how much of it has been absorbed? These are all valid questions that our experts will explore during the assessment process.

Categorize the Damage

This is where we’ll figure out what type of damage has been done. Because water can create mold, it’s essential to test for spores. Depending on what we find, your home will be placed in one of 3 categories.

 Water Damage Inspection - All Phase Roofing & Restoration

Verify the Water Damage Category

Categories are based on contamination. If any water found came from an external source, it’s automatically Category 2. Category 1 is reserved for internal leaks; Category 3 is for black water. Our team can verify the damage category effectively, whether it is clean, grey, or black.

Water Damage Assessment Steps

Assessment focuses on mitigating water as quickly as possible to prevent further damage. We’ve perfected our process to ensure your home is restored in no time. Our water damage assessment process includes the following steps: 

Inspecting Water Damage

Using the latest technology on the market, we’ll inspect your home to determine the extent of the damage. Tools such as moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras help to catch hidden areas of saturation, such as behind your walls or under your floorboards.

Categorizing the Water

To create a custom water cleanup plan for your home, it’s important to categorize the type of damage: Category 1: Internal leaks of clean water, such as a burst pipe or storm. Category 2: Water leaks with some level of contamination, such as a leaking dishwasher or washing machine. Category 3: Water leaks with high levels of pollution, such as a sewage backup.

Classifying the Water

In addition to categorizing the type of water damage, our team will also classify the extent of the damage, including: Class 1: Water damage that covers part of one room with little to no water absorption. Class 2: Water damage with significant damage to an entire room and a large amount of water absorption. Class 3: Water damage that covers multiple parts of the home with significant water absorption.

Drying the Structure and Contents

Once we know the extent of the damage, our team will work to completely dry your home and its contents. We will mitigate, clean, and sanitize your home until it looks brand new.
