CASE STUDY: Water Damage Claim Summary and Mitigation Report
The claim relates to a water damage incident assessed on 19 January 2026, when Elite Restoration attended the property to inspect affected internal floor coverings.
The inspection aimed to determine the cause, extent of damage, and immediate actions required to minimise further deterioration while awaiting scope approval.
No active internal leak was identified during attendance, with the source of ingress suspected to be external and unresolved at the time.
The cause of loss is believed to be water ingress from an external wall cavity, likely originating near the roof gutter downpipe and migrating internally.
The incident was classified in accordance with IICRC standards as Category 3 water and a Class 2 loss, indicating gross contamination affecting multiple materials.
Water damage was identified in Office 1 and Office 2, with carpeted floor coverings impacted and elevated moisture levels detected in carpets and lower wall sections.
Mitigation works were carried out promptly, including the installation of drying equipment to control moisture and reduce the risk of mould growth.
After approximately three days of controlled drying, follow-up inspections confirmed moisture levels had returned to acceptable standards, and equipment was removed.
Affected materials include carpet, underlay, skirting boards, and surface contamination to the concrete subfloor, with recommendations to rectify the external source, replace porous materials, and proceed with reinstatement works upon approval.
