Water Damage Restoration Services In Mayflower, AR

Common types of water damage

Not all water damage is the same. In fact, there are three types (or categories) of damage, and each requires a different treatment approach.

1. Clean water (or category 1)

Clean water means that the health risk is low and that it should stay low if you respond in less than 48 hours. It also means that the cause could be:

• A broken water supply line
• An overflowing bathtub, toilet, or sink
• A broken appliance
• Snow
• Rainwater

These causes can be deceptive with damage that you can’t see. That’s why we also look in the framework of your home or business to ensure that the damage isn’t worse or hasn’t moved to category 2.

2. Greywater (or category 2)

Also called sullage, this is water that has mixed with chemicals (such as soap or detergent) or a contaminated water source. It can also make you and your pets sick, so it’s important that the cleanup involves decontaminating the area from microorganisms so that it doesn’t worsen, and become a category 3.

Causes of greywater damage can include water from an appliance, toilet water with urine, or sump pump failure.

3. Blackwater (or category 3)

The most dangerous of all water damage, blackwater usually contains sewage and/or has mixed with a contaminated water source, such as floodwater. This can be especially hazardous, so call Amazing Grace Restoration immediately if you suspect that you’re dealing with blackwater.
