No need to panic, just call SERVPRO of Walnut.

SERVPRO of Walnut deals with a variety of disasters and damage to both homes and businesses but of all the different types of losses that we work on, some are more intense than others. Fire losses, for instance, have a tendency to be far more somber and devastating than a simple pipe leak in a garage. The same can be said about different types of biohazard cleanups. The grossest types of losses are known as Category 3 (or Cat 3) water losses. 

There are three types of water losses in our industry. They are as follows:

• CATEGORY 1: These types of losses are your run-of-the-mill pipe or washer machine line leaks. Category 1 losses contain no pollutants in the water.
• CATEGORY 2: These losses are still not terrible, most of the time. The water has something else in it, but it is not seen as being exceedingly dangerous from a biological standpoint. Examples include soap or other types of detergent.
• CATEGORY 3: These are the rough ones. Usually, Cat 3 losses involve feces, blood, or some other type of pollutant.

No matter the type of loss, SERVPRO of Walnut is here 24/7 to answer the call when you experience water damage.
