Know the risk
Water damage categories
Water category is one of the biggest drivers of restoration cost — it dictates the level of sanitizing, PPE and disposal required.
Category 1 — Clean Water
Sanitary water from a supply line or faucet. Lowest hazard and cost, but still needs prompt drying.
Category 2 — Gray Water
Contaminated water from appliances like dishwashers or washing machines. Requires antimicrobial cleaning.
Category 3 — Black Water
Grossly contaminated water — sewage, flooding or toilet overflow. Highest cost; extensive disposal and sanitizing.
