Understanding the Different Classes of Water Damage

Water damage is classified according to the water’s source. The three categories are clean water, gray water, and black water.

Clean water is from a sanitary water source, such as a broken water line or a faucet. Gray water is from a source that may contain contaminants, such as a washing machine or dishwasher. Black water is from a contaminated water source, such as sewage or flood waters.

Water damage can cause a variety of problems, such as mold growth, structural damage, and health hazards. It is important to understand the different classes of water damage so that you can take the appropriate steps to clean and repair your home or business.

If you have water damage, it is important to contact a professional water damage restoration company. They will have the experience and equipment to safely and effectively clean and repair your property.
