Inspect and documentLocate the source, map affected materials, photograph damage, collect moisture readings, and establish the initial scope.
Extract, stabilize, and dryRemove water, set equipment, contain affected areas where needed, and monitor progress through the drying phase.
Clean and coordinate restorationClean affected areas based on the water category and coordinate repair planning after mitigation is complete.
Water Categories
Category 1, Category 2, and Category 3 water damage
Water category affects safety steps, material decisions, cleaning requirements, and documentation. Clean-water losses can become more serious if water sits or contacts contaminated materials.
Category 2 water may contain contamination from appliance discharge or some overflows. Category 3 water is highly contaminated, such as sewage backup or flood water, and requires more protective handling.
Category 1 Water
Usually from a clean source such as a supply line leak or overflow without contaminants.
Category 2 Water
Gray water with possible contamination that requires more careful cleaning and material decisions.
Category 3 Water
Highly contaminated water from sewage, flood water, or hazardous sources that may require removal of porous materials.
Insurance Support
Insurance documentation for water damage restoration
Insurance carriers need clear evidence: photos, moisture readings, drying logs, affected material notes, scope details, and communication that explains what happened and why specific work is needed.
Romexterra works with all insurance companies and helps property owners stay organized during the claim. The goal is to document the loss properly, keep communication professional, and reduce the stress of coordinating multiple vendors.
