Step 2: Identifying the Source and Type of Water Damage

Once immediate threats are under control, we identify the source of intrusion and classify the category of water involved. This step is critical in selecting the right structural drying and decontamination process. Our certified technicians tailor the water damage cleanup approach based on contamination levels, materials affected, and the size of the affected area — ensuring safe, complete drying with no hidden moisture left behind.

Next we determine the source of water intrusion and the category of water damage and cleanup.

 

🟢

Category 1 – Clean Water Damage

 

This type of water comes from a clean, sanitary source — such as a broken supply line, faucet, or overflowing sink. Although safe at first, Category 1 water must be removed promptly using emergency water extraction to prevent it from degrading into a more hazardous state.

✅ Common sources: burst pipes, appliance leaks, toilet tanks

✅ Requires fast drying to prevent mold growth and escalation

Examples: Sink overflow, appliance malfunction, broken water supply lines

 

🟠

Category 2 – Grey Water Damage (Contaminated)

 

Grey water may contain bacteria, chemicals, or other contaminants. It often comes from washing machines, dishwashers, or toilet overflows (with no solid waste). This type of water poses moderate health risks and requires thorough disinfection and structural drying as part of the cleanup process.

✅ Requires specialized equipment and antimicrobial treatment

✅ Common in kitchen or laundry-related flooding scenarios

Examples: Toilet bowl overflow if it contains urine, dishwasher or clothes washer discharges, water bed leaks, aquarium leaks and water that enters the structure from hydrostatic pressure (from below grade). If a structure is affected by category 2 water, special steps and procedures must be taken in order to restore the property to a pre loss state. This procedure does not only involve drying but cleaning procedures must be employed before the drying process can be completed.

 

🔴

Category 3 – Black Water Damage (Hazardous)

Black water is highly contaminated and dangerous. It may contain sewage, toxic chemicals, or floodwater from outdoor sources. Direct contact can lead to serious health issues, so professional water damage cleanup and complete material removal is required.

✅ Typically involves demolition and full sanitation

✅ Requires PPE, containment, and licensed restoration experts.

Our team will prevent growth of microorganisms by employing the appropriate antimicrobials and completely cleaning all affected material using safe and environmentally friendly cleaners and disinfectants, we then thoroughly and rapidly dry all affected areas using the latest and most advanced

 

Examples: sewer or septic system discharge from toilets, or floodwaters that intrude a structure.
Employee and occupant health and safety are our first priority on every job, we mark and post hazard signs by all the affected areas, and we will arrange transportation and other accommodations for the clients if the area is dangerous and uninhabitable.

⚠️ Urgent Health Warning: Category 3 Water

This type of water is highly unsanitary and requires expert decontamination. Exposure to Category 3 “black water” may carry serious health risks from sewage, flood contaminants, or harmful bacteria.

Photo below shows a real Category 3 water damage emergency, affecting over 20,000 square feet of property. Category 3 water, also known as “black water,” is highly contaminated and requires immediate professional attention to mitigate health risks and extensive property damage.

Our rapid response and expert handling enabled the affected company to resume operations quickly, avoiding potential losses in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. By immediately extracting the water, deploying advanced drying equipment, and efficiently sanitizing the contaminated areas, we minimized downtime and ensured that the business could get back up and running in record time. Thanks to our team’s swift action, the company avoided prolonged closures, costly repairs, and revenue loss, keeping their operations on track.

Water Removal

The photo below captures a real Category 3 water damage emergency, showcasing a hose run of over 400 feet to remove grossly contaminated water. This complex operation required precision and advanced equipment to effectively extract hazardous water and prevent further contamination.

Our team’s successful handling of this large-scale emergency protected the company’s property from extensive damage, preserving its infrastructure and minimizing long-term repair costs. By efficiently removing the contaminated water and restoring safe conditions, we helped safeguard the company’s assets, ensuring a quicker recovery and avoiding costly downtime.

Water Damage Mitigation

The photo below illustrates the post-water removal phase, where our team deployed commercial-grade professional drying equipment for water damage mitigation. This advanced setup ensured thorough drying of the affected areas, preventing further damage such as mold growth or structural weakening.

By using high-performance dehumidifiers and air movers, we were able to restore the property to safe, dry conditions efficiently, protecting the company’s assets and accelerating the recovery process.

Water Damage Restoration Equipment

Step 3: Water Removal

After assessing the situation and determining the category of water, we begin with the critical task of water removal. This involves extracting all standing water from the affected areas using high-powered pumps and vacuums. The quicker the water is removed, the less chance there is for further damage to your property. Immediate removal helps to reduce the risk of mold growth, structural weakening, and deterioration of your belongings.

Step 4: Water Damage Mitigation

Once the standing water has been removed, we move to the mitigation phase, which focuses on thoroughly drying and dehumidifying your property. This step is crucial in preventing secondary damage like mold growth and wood rot. We use a variety of specialized equipment, including:

Commercial-grade dehumidifiers: These remove excess moisture from the air, ensuring that even hidden water is addressed.

Air movers: High-velocity fans are placed strategically to circulate air and speed up the drying process for walls, floors, and ceilings.

Air scrubbers and hydroxyl generators: These devices help improve air quality by removing contaminants and neutralizing odors caused by water damage.

Wall and floor drying systems: For more targeted drying, these systems are employed to address moisture trapped within walls, floors, and other hard-to-reach areas.

Additionally, during this stage, we may need to move contents, furniture, and other items to a safe area to prevent further damage and to allow for more efficient drying. Preserving your belongings is a key part of this step, and we take care to handle all items with the utmost care.

Step 5: Restoration Phase

After the drying and mitigation process is complete, we transition to the restoration phase. This involves repairing and restoring your property to its pre-loss condition. The extent of restoration will depend on the severity of the damage and can include tasks such as:

•Replacing damaged drywall and insulation

•Painting and refinishing affected areas

•Installing new flooring or repairing existing floors

•Restoring any structural components affected by water damage

Our goal is to restore your home to its original state, ensuring it’s both safe and comfortable for you and your family. At BCCS Restoration, we are with you every step of the way, making sure the process is smooth and effective from start to finish.

Common Questions

1. How do you know if you have water damage?

You may have water damage if you notice the following signs:

  • Dark or wet spots on walls, ceilings, or floors
  • A musty or damp smell in certain areas
  • Bubbling, cracking, or peeling paint
  • Warped or buckling floors
  • Mold growth in damp areas
  • Unexplained spikes in your water bill

If you suspect water damage, it’s important to act quickly to prevent further damage or health risks.

2. How long does it take for water damage to show?

Water damage can show within hours, but visible signs may take days or even weeks. Mold can begin to grow within 24–48 hours if moisture is not removed properly.

3. How long does water damage restoration take?

Water removal and drying typically takes 3–7 days. Severe cases requiring structural repair may take several weeks to fully restore.

4. Does insurance help pay for water damage?

Most homeowner policies cover sudden and accidental damage, like burst pipes or storm flooding. Gradual leaks or neglect may not be covered. We assist with claims to help you get the support you need.

5. Is the service expensive?

Costs vary based on damage severity and area affected. Minor restoration may cost a few hundred dollars, while extensive damage can reach thousands. We offer transparent pricing and detailed upfront estimates.

6. Is water damage an emergency?

Yes, water damage is considered an emergency. The faster you act, the more you can prevent extensive property damage and health hazards like mold.

7. Can’t I DIY the restoration?

DIY is not recommended for major damage. Professional-grade drying equipment and expertise are required to prevent hidden moisture and mold growth. Our team ensures proper restoration and safety.

8. Does water damage decrease home value?

Yes, especially if not properly mitigated. Mold, structural issues, and cosmetic damage lower property value. Professional restoration helps maintain value and provides documentation for future buyers.

9. As a landlord, do I have to pay for water damage?

Generally, landlords are responsible if the damage results from structural or maintenance issues. If caused by tenant negligence or natural disaster, liability may vary. Lease agreements and insurance policies should be reviewed carefully.

10. Can I make a payment plan for services?

Yes, payment plans are available—except for the water removal and emergency response day, which must be paid up front. We offer AfterPay, ACH, and flexible terms. Non-payment may lead to collections, liens, or legal action.

11. Can you begin work before I have a claim number?

Yes, we can begin mitigation work immediately to prevent further damage. However, please note:

  • The homeowner is ultimately liable for all charges regardless of insurance claim outcomes.
  • Insurance coverage or approval is not guaranteed.
  • Prompt action is often required for coverage eligibility.

We document all work thoroughly and work directly with insurers to help justify and support your claim.
