Water Damage Category and Class Identifier

Answer a few questions about the water source and what got wet and see the likely category and class, with what each means.

These tools give planning-level estimates from typical values. They are not quotes, designs or engineering, and results depend on your actual soil, depth, access, local rules and conditions. Only a visit can confirm what a job needs, and we give you a clear price before any work begins.

Questions

About this tool.

Is this a lab result?

No. It is a simple guide. A technician confirms on site.

Does category change the cost?

It can, because dirtier water means more removal and cleaning.

What if I do not know the source?

The tool assumes gray water to stay on the safe side. Call us and we will check.
