Classification of Water and Flood Damage Toronto: Water is classified as below, depending on the water damage and the source of the water:
Class 1 Water: It’s the lowest and easiest to deal with. It has a slow evaporation rate. Includes only part of a room or area that is affected, there is little or no wet carpet, and the moisture has only affected materials with a low permeance rate, such as plywood or
concrete. Class 2 Water: This has a fast evaporation rate, and affects an entire room, carpeting, or cushioning, the walls have wicked up at least 12”, and moisture is remaining in structural
materials. Class 3 Water: It has the fastest evaporation rate. Ceilings, walls, insulation, carpet, and
sub-floors are all saturated. Class 4 Water: This is a specialty drying situation, where there has been enough liquid and time to saturate materials with very low permeance, such as brick, hardwood, or stone.
