What causes Category 1 water to become contaminated?

Time and contact. Water sitting for days, or running across dirty floors, picks up contaminants and can become Category 2.

Submersible pumps, extractors, weighted carpet tools, air movers, dehumidifiers, moisture meters and thermal cameras.

What methods are used for water behind walls?

Small holes or removed baseboards let air into the cavity, wet insulation is removed and the wall is dried until readings are normal.

How quickly should standing water be removed?

Right away. Clean water soaks into materials within hours and can become contaminated if it sits for more than a day or two.

Can wet carpets be saved after clean water extraction?

Often yes. Clean water extracted quickly means the carpet can usually be dried and kept, though the pad may be replaced.
