Water damage can be minor or severe. The level of severity dictates the approach to water damage restoration, and this water damage classification is an essential component of the restoration process.
At Innovative Restorations, our water damage expertise includes damage classification, or saturation level and drying required, and categorization, or contamination levels. Water from a pipe break is in a less severe category of clean than water from a storm flood or sewer backup.
We assist customers in Cookeville, Alpine, Sparta, Crossville, Doyle, Crawford, Oliver Springs, Monroe, and across our TN service area. Call us today or contact us online to consult with an Innovative Restoration water damage classification expert.
