Clean water damage
Water damage that fits under this category includes broken pipes, water supply lines, sinks, and bathtubs that have overflowed, and a whole list of appliance issues. These types of water issues are considered “clean water damage” because it is not sewage water or water that has toxins in it. Most of these issues can also be rectified quickly with some simple drying techniques.
Grey water damage
Water damage that is considered “grey water damage” includes water from appliances like toilets, washing machines, and sump pumps. Now, water damage from these things is not necessarily harmful to humans, but it could be, and it is essential to make sure you clean the areas thoroughly once you have stopped the leaks. Using disinfectant cleaner is a good way to eliminate germs and toxins that can be left behind with water from the above-mentioned appliances.
Black water damage
Black water damage is the most severe water damage that can occur. Black water damage also requires swift rectification in order to limit health complications and serious property damage. Black water includes sewage, rising floodwaters, seawater, as well as river, and groundwater. When these instances occur, you will have to remove everything at your property and everything will need extensive disinfecting.
