Water Damage Classifications for 2017

There are three different categories of liquid that can potentially infiltrate your home, making water removal the next necessary step. They are as follows:

• Category 1- If you have water that is leaking from a sanitary source, such as the pipes beneath your sink, clean water from a well, or the water in the tank behind your toilet, this would initially be described as a Category 1 problem.
• Category 2- If Category 1 water damage is left unattended; this can result in a Category 2 disaster. Category 2 signifies that the leaking water is, in fact, contaminated and could cause illness to individuals that come in contact with it. Category 2 is interchangeably referred to as grey water. Sometimes the water that seeps into your home is already contaminated, making it a Category 2 or 3 classification on contact.
• Category 3- Category 3 water is bacteria ridden and incredibly toxic. It is frequently associated with harrowing floods, sewer backups, and horizontal groundwater that has been left stagnant.
