What Is Class 2 Water Damage?

According to the IICRC, a class 2 water damage is where there is a significant amount of water discharged, and the exposed materials are medium to high porosity. There is a more excellent absorption of water into the materials, and the water damage process is lengthened by the volume of water that needs to be removed and extended drying time. Examples would be a ruptured pressurized water line inside a gypsum board wall, or a wooden floor joist system.
