What characterizes Class 3 water intrusions?

Lowest level of water absorption
Moderate level of water absorption
Greatest amount of water absorption
Rapid evaporation

The correct answer is: Greatest amount of water absorption

Class 3 water intrusions are characterized by the greatest amount of water absorption, indicating that a significant volume of water has penetrated a structure. This classification includes situations where materials such as ceilings, walls, and floors are saturated with water, resulting in high moisture levels. Class 3 water is typically associated with large amounts of water flooding, particularly from sources like heavy rains or burst pipes, where water can soak into porous materials extensively. Moreover, Class 3 water is often found in areas with high humidity and requires rapid and thorough extraction and drying to prevent further damage or mold growth. Understanding this classification is crucial for restoration professionals to develop appropriate strategies for efficient water damage restoration and to ensure that all affected areas are addressed effectively.
