Categories Of Water Damage And How to Get Prompt Water Damage Restoration In San Antonio

Water damage is described and classified by categories. There are 3 categories of water damage, and these categories are defined by the contamination levels made possible by the extent of the damage and the kind of water that caused it:

• Category 1 – damage caused by “clean water.” This is water that is not contaminated and is not dangerous to humans. Examples are water damage from leaky faucets, overflowing tubs, damaged water main supply lines, etc.
• Category 2 – damage caused by “grey water.” This water could contain biological, chemical, or physical contamination that may possibly adversely affect humans or animals that come into contact with it. Examples of this sort of water damage are from broken sump pumps, toilet water with urine, washing machine or dishwasher malfunctions (where detergents can be involved), etc.
• Category 3 – damage caused by unsanitary water or “black water.” This is the most serious kind of water damage, and can come from sewer damage, floodwaters from rivers, streams, or seawater, or stormwater. This water often contains harmful bacteria and microorganisms. It is imperative that this type of damage is contained and cleaned up as soon as possible as it can be very harmful to humans.

Leaving any type of water damage untreated can lead to mold growth, proliferation of dangerous bacteria, hazards from weakened drywall, flooring, and other structures, and attractions for rodents and other pests. These symptoms will not get better over time, they need to be dealt with as soon as possible. 

Calling a professional water damage restoration company immediately is essential to preserve health and structural integrity of homes and business properties. In many cases, the cost of water damage restoration is covered by insurance.
