Class Four ( 4 ) water loss

Class 4 Water Loss

Specialty drying situations.

These consist of wet materials with a very low permeance/porosity (e.g., hardwood, plaster, brick, concrete, light weight concrete and stone).  Typically. there are deep pockets of saturation, which require very low specific humidity to remove.

This class of water includes situations where moisture is trapped deep in dense materials like hardwood floors, sub-flooring, and plaster walls.  This "bound water" is difficult to remove and will require the use of special drying tools and techniques. Additional drying time may be required to maintain a balanced environment so as not to cause damage to other materials in the loss through moisture removal

Class Three ( 3 ) water loss

Class 3 water loss

class 3 water loss

Greatest amount of water, absorption and evaporation.

Water may have come from overhead. Ceilings, insulation, carpet, cushion and sub-floor in virtually the entire area are saturated.

This class includes the largest amount of water remaining after extraction and demolition is completed. This will involve entire room(s) and their materials. Porous and non-porous materials may be included. large volumes of moisture have been adsorbed and need to be evacuated quickly to prevent secondary or long term damages. This evacuation may require the use of heat, large volume dehumidification, air movers and specialty tools and techniques.

Class Two ( 2 ) Water Loss

Class 2 water loss

Large amount of water, absorption, and evaporation.

Water losses that affect the majority of a room of carpet and cushion (pad).  Water has wicked up walls less than 24 inches.  There is moisture in structural materials.

This class includes more water remaining after extraction than class 1 and includes some moisture wicking up the walls. Since porous materials are affected and absorption happens rapidly, the volume of moisture that will be dealt with must be considered.  These items will also release their moisture rapidly, therefore more dehumidification is required to prevent secondary damages.

Class ONE ( 1 ) Water Loss.

Class 1 water loss

Classification of Water. Class 1

The Classification of water- related to the relative degree of saturation. This class is used to calculate the initial amount of equipment needed in the drying process.

Least amount of water, absorption, and evaporation. Water losses that affect only part of a room or area , or larger  areas containing materials that have absorbed minimal moisture. Little or no wet carpet and/or cushion is present. These may also include small losses where the carpet and cushion has been removed and only the sub-floor is being dried.

This class may include more than one room or drying chamber, but is typically a small amount of water left after extraction and removal of wet materials. A number of rooms with each room having only a slight involvement in the loss may also be labeled as a class 1 loss.
