A Partner’s Guide to Success
Data Reveals Most Restoration Jobs Require More Air Scrubbers.
In the ever-evolving landscape of disaster restoration, staying ahead of the curve is crucial for success. One innovative solution that is revolutionizing our industry is “Category Delineation” testing with Integrity Environmental Testing. This advanced testing methodology instantly detects biological micro-contamination present in the air, while providing a myriad of benefits that can significantly increase revenue and job quality for those who partner with Integrity Environmental Testing.
Advantages to Category Delineation
The benefits of Category Delineation offer a comprehensive approach to identifying and managing potential contamination in any water or fire environment.
1. Quantification of the True Category of the loss
Through instant, scientific analysis, Category Delineation provides accurate quantification of the true Cat 1, 2, or 3 determination of the loss. Scientific evidence eliminates the “your opinion vs the adjuster opinion argument”. Understanding of the level of contamination is essential for restorers to deploy the appropriate level of best practice remediation efforts.
2. Understanding the True affected area allows science to determine the job scope
The affected WET area produces bacteria and other microscopic contaminants. The drying process drives those contaminants caused by the loss, to go airborne and potentially spread thereby expanding the “affected area”. By identifying contamination levels beyond the “visible affected area” , Category Delineation allows science to determine, and potentially expand, the job scope. This ensures any contaminants which may have spread are addressed effectively. This comprehensive approach leads to more thorough remediation efforts and better outcomes for both clients and contractors.
3. Data-Driven Decision Making
Category Delineation provides hard scientific data to support remediation efforts, according to IICRC industry standards and OSHA/EPA regulatory requirements. This data-driven approach not only enhances the credibility of restoration work but also eliminates arguments with insurance adjusters, ultimately leading to faster claims processing and increased revenue while reducing the risk of a lawsuit from a sick occupant of the home/property.
Real-time readings reveal most job sites need more air scrubbers.

Maximizing Job Quality, Revenue and Profitability
Partnering with Integrity Environmental Testing for Category Delineation can have a significant impact on job revenue and profitability. Here’s how:
1. Saves time
Category Delineation scientifically validates remediation on FIRE and WATER jobs.
- What the true category of the loss is or the amount of soot/ash/char which may be present,
- What the true ‘affected area’ is.
Using science to eliminate disputes with insurance adjusters, streamlining the claims process and ensuring faster payouts.
2. Increases revenue and profits
Using science to accurately determine the level of microscopic air and surface contamination present as a result of the loss, and how far it has spread… has proven the need for additional air scrubbers and cleaning. Additional equipment and cleaning means more revenue and profits because of a proper job scope.
3. Helps protect restorers from lawsuits and regulatory fines
Testing is not only required by industry standards such as the IICRC but also mandated and monitored by regulatory bodies like OSHA and the EPA. By partnering with Integrity Environmental Testing, contractors can ensure better compliance with these standards, mitigating the risk of fines and legal issues.
4. Its FREE to our Restoration Partners
While the testing methodology is different for fire jobs vs water jobs, either way the Category Delineation report is given free to our partners. We invoice the insurance company, and you get all the benefits at no charge!
5. Manage Health and Environmental Risks
Category Delineation helps identify potential health and environmental risks, providing a safer environment for occupants and workers. This proactive approach not only enhances public health and safety but also minimizes liabilities, protecting the reputation and profitability of contractors.

Our Testing Follows IICRC Industry Standards
Testing is required by IICRC & OSHA. The IICRC states the #1 responsibility of a restoration company is not drying out a home. It is public health and safety.
Measure Contamination: Evaporation and air moving equipment causes serious airborne contamination, moving from room to room and settling on surfaces.
Expand Job Scope: Instant digital reports tell a restoration company where air filtration devices, containment, and additional cleaning and disinfecting are needed.
Justification: The report provides hard scientific data to back up your restoration work, according to the IICRC standards and regulatory compliance. Tests are covered by insurance and free to homeowners and contractors.
