We take the time to get to know your specific situation and not just jump into it without telling you why and how. We understand that it’s best to first scope out the issue to get the best understanding of the problem, so we can help you deal with it. No one wants someone to come into their residence or business and demand them to do things without letting the person speak. They need someone that not only knows what they’re doing, but also listens well to make sure everyone is on the same page. Our steps are to scope the place, talk to one another to hear the solutions we have to deal with the problem, let you know the plan, and talk to whomever we need to in order to get the job started and done right.

Water categories

2/3/2020 (Permalink)

Water categories are the way we determine how to handle each job. Knowing what type of water we are dealing with helps us get the job done and done right. There are three categories and they are clean water, gray water, and black water. Within the water categories, there are water classes.

 Water classes are used to inform everyone how much damage the water caused. There are four water classes, one (1) being the least damage to  four (4) being the worst damage.

  • Clean water - comes from a water pipe, rainwater, or an overflow of a water source.
  • Gray water - has come in contact with another object and if you don’t handle the water before bacteria starts to form, it will become hazardous.
  • Black Water - When the category is hazardous, we have to take the affected materials out.

Water can cause so much damage and such a little time. It’s important to check for leaks and cracks in your foundation and in any water line in your home or business. Here are some tips to help prevent a water loss: 

  • Cleaning gutters and drain
  • Check for leaks
  • Check for cracks in your foundation
  • Make sure your roof is up-to-date and is assembled correctly 
  • Making sure all your entrances are sealed correctly
  • Windows, doors, siding,etc.

  • Maintain the trees around your home. 
  • Making sure it is healthy and the tree limbs are cut where they can’t cause damage to your home. 

In addition to checking for cracks and leaks, it is important to maintain a good flow in each water line. Too much pressure and cause crack as well. Pus, too much pressure and make the line burst.
