Water Damage Restoration Services In Vilonia, AR

Common types of water damage

Not all water damage is the same. In fact, there are three types of damage, and each requires different treatment methods.

1. Clean water

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

Although these causes may be easier to fix, they can also 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 become greywater.

2. Greywater

Also called sullage, this is water that has mixed with chemicals (such as soap or detergent) or a contaminated water source. Causes of greywater damage can include water from an appliance, toilet water with urine, or sump pump failure.

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 blackwater.

3. Blackwater

This is the most dangerous of all water damage, because it usually contains sewage that could have viruses and/or deadly bacteria in it. It could also have mixed with a contaminated water source, such as flood water.

Blackwater is dangerous and could cause you and your pets serious illness. If you think that you’re dealing with this type of damage, leave the property, and call us immediately.
