SERVPRO of Spartanburg County is dedicated to using best practices on every job, every time.

Water damage can occur in various forms, each requiring a unique approach to restoration. Understanding the different water classes can help property owners assess the severity of the situation and ensure appropriate actions are taken. At SERVPRO of Spartanburg County, we adhere to IICRC guidelines and best practices when it comes to handling water damage in different classes. Let's explore the different water classes and how our team ensures effective restoration.

Class 1: Minimal Intrusion Class 1 water damage involves minimal absorption and affects only a small area. It typically involves materials with low porosity, such as concrete or hardwood floors. SERVPRO of Spartanburg County employs advanced moisture detection and extraction techniques to quickly remove the water and restore the affected area. Our team utilizes professional-grade drying equipment, including air movers and dehumidifiers, to ensure thorough drying and prevent further damage.

Class 2: Significant Intrusion Class 2 water damage involves a larger area and increased absorption. It may affect carpets, cushions, and walls, leading to more extensive moisture saturation. SERVPRO of Spartanburg County promptly assesses the extent of the damage, identifies affected materials, and implements targeted drying strategies. Our technicians focus on efficient extraction, advanced drying techniques, and monitoring to achieve optimal moisture levels and prevent secondary issues like mold growth.

Class 3: Extensive Intrusion Class 3 water damage involves the most significant water absorption, affecting ceilings, walls, insulation, and subflooring. It often requires invasive restoration methods due to the deep saturation and potential for hidden moisture pockets. SERVPRO of Spartanburg County utilizes specialized equipment, such as injectidry systems and thermal imaging technology, to detect and address hidden moisture. Our team employs advanced structural drying techniques to mitigate damage and prevent long-term complications.

Class 4: Specialty Drying Situations Class 4 water damage involves unique situations that require specialized drying methods. This includes materials with low evaporation rates, such as hardwood, stone, or concrete. SERVPRO of Spartanburg County understands the intricacies of Class 4 restoration and utilizes specialized drying equipment, such as desiccant dehumidifiers, to effectively remove moisture from these challenging materials. Our team's expertise ensures efficient drying and minimizes the risk of secondary damage.
