Water Damage is Not All Alike

Three categories of water are involved in a situation with water damage. The category of water helps to determine the right water restoration method that we will use. Category 1 water is known as white water or clean water. It is fresh water which is pumped into your home, meaning Category 1 water damage source can be broken water supply lines such as washing machine and dishwasher malfunctions. This type of water is harmless to people, but after forty-eight hours, it can turn into Category 2 water. Category 2 water is usually referred to as gray water. It can come from wastewater in bathtubs, sinks, and showers, plus water which is discharged by washing machines and dishwashers. It will likely have a good amount of contamination and can pose a health risk. Category 3 water is also known as black water. The main source of this is sewage. It also happens during a flood because of the potential for chemicals in fertilizers, ground debris, animal waste and other areas that have contamination. Blackwater has toxins or organisms that can cause disease.
