Having a disagreement with an adjuster, that the difference in Cat 2 vs Cat 3 is in general, the presence of hazardous containments in water, making for cat 3 classification. He believes that because Xactimate states solids, or sludge from sewerage water as one example in the line item's description, that that is all that is considered cat 3, anything other than sewerage is cat 2.
We extracted 32800 sq ft of water contaminated with oil and hydraulic fluids, the vast majority with high levels of hydraulic fluids present, and a considerable amount with oil present.
Am I wrong to consider it cat 3?
Also, he stated I need to use the line item for hard surface extraction, but I can not find it, I think I remember seeing it years ago, but it seems to have vanished, anyone know the cat/sel in xactimate?
