Water damage is divided into three categories. Category 1 refers to clean water that does not pose a substantial threat to humans. Category 2 refers to “gray” water that contains chemical, biological, or physical contaminants that could cause discomfort or sickness upon exposure or consumption. Category 3 refers to “black” water that contains harmful fungi or bacteria or is contaminated through contact with sewage, roofing materials, bird droppings, or rodent droppings.
When water enters a building from the outside, it is considered Category 3 Water and requires professional handling by a professional company that is certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC).

Example Client We Have Helped
Before During After
A toilet supply line in the guest bathroom of a Goodyear, AZ house ruptured and flooded the entire first floor. All carpeting engineered wood flooring and tile was damaged, and the bathroom vanity and kitchen cabinets were saturated and swollen because the water had wicked up approximately four feet.
No one was home when the problem occurred because the homeowner is a winter visitor. So, it is possible that the water could have been standing for hours or days. The homeowner considered ServiceMaster and SERVPRO but chose to work with R2 Fire & Water based on her insurance company’s recommendation, and strong history of great service on jobs like this one.
R2 Fire and Water technicians were on site within 90 minutes of the call. Our team determined that the flooring could not be saved, but we were able to dry the rest of the structure by using fans to evaporate the water and low grain dehumidifiers to stabilize and reduce the humidity in the air. We also used state-of-the-art thermal imaging technology to create a moisture map to ensure there was no trapped moisture that could lead to future problems such as mold.
After drying was complete, we wrote a repair estimate and presented the homeowner with replacement cabinet, granite, and flooring options. The water damage restoration cost was $11,000 and rebuilding cost $28,000, but the homeowner only had to pay $1,000 out-of-pocket because R2 Fire & Water worked with the insurance company to ensure that everything was submitted as a single claim.
