Common scenarios we handle
Understanding:
Water Damage Categories
Water damage is classified into three categories based on contamination level. Each requires different safety protocols and restoration approaches.
Clean Water
Water from a sanitary source like a broken supply line, faucet, or rainwater. While initially clean, it can degrade to Category 2 or 3 if left untreated.
Gray Water
Water with significant contamination from sources like dishwasher or washing machine overflow, toilet overflow with urine, or sump pump failures.
Black Water
Highly contaminated water from sewage backup, flooding from rivers or streams, or standing water with microbial growth. Requires specialized handling and disposal.
