What's common about every water damage is the presence of excess water on or around the affected places. Besides the presence of the amount of water, knowing about the source of the water is also important. Categorization does that. It indicates the damage caused by the water and what should be the necessary steps to bring back the lost integrity of the place. In some cases, it's associated with the safety concern. Timely categorization and immediate response to that can help avoid further damage followed by costly repair or replacement costs and hassles. Categorization may also help determine the coverage by the insurance.
There are 3 categories of water damage. These are:
Clean water or Category 1
In this category, the situation is considered less critical than the other two. The lower contamination level of water makes water removal the first priority. However, standing water is never good for the structure. As long as it stays in the structural parts, there's a chance of mold growth. Delaying treating it can take the condition to category 2.
Gray water of Category 2
This category of water damage occurs due to broken sump pumps, and other similar reasons. Naturally, the possibility is higher that people can become ill if come in contact. Because, unlike clean water gray water contains bacteria and other pollutants.
Black water or Category 3
Black water means that the water contains toxic and harmful elements. It is the most dangerous situation among the three water damage categories. This type of water damage takes place as a result of sewage issues. Without professional restoration and cleanup, the situation can cause serious health hazards.
