<\/p>\nFour Classes of Water; Each with its own Protocol for Drying<\/b><\/h3>\n
- \n
- Class 1 \u2013 Part of a Room Affected<\/span><\/li>\n
- Class 2 \u2013 All of a Room; Multiple Rooms Affected<\/span><\/li>\n
- Class 3 \u2013 Multiple Levels Affected (e.g. loss occurs on 2nd floor and also affects 1st)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Class 4 \u2013 Specialty Equipment Needed (Injection; Floor Mats; ETAS Heating)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\n\nDemolition<\/h2>\n\n\n
Not all water losses require demolition<\/p>\n\n
The removal of materials (drywall, flooring, cabinets, etc.) is based on the category of loss (1, 2, 3) and the class of loss (1, 2, 3, 4) demolition may be required. This is for a variety of reasons<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- \n
Is there mold?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Is insulation affected?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Is the material delaminating?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Are bacteria and pathogens present?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Is there already damage to the structure?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\nMeasurement<\/b><\/h2>\n
PuroClean Northwest uses a variety of measurement devices to understand the scope of work. There is no one-size-fits-all mitigation process. We have tools that allow us to \u201csee behind the walls\u201d so we can be as efficient as possible doing the actual mitigation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":5,"template":"","class_list":["post-11","service","type-service","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/lynnwood-wa-puroclean-northwest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services\/11","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/lynnwood-wa-puroclean-northwest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/lynnwood-wa-puroclean-northwest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/service"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/lynnwood-wa-puroclean-northwest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/lynnwood-wa-puroclean-northwest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
