What dose Water Damage Restoration Mean?

Water damage restoration is a professional term used to describe the process of water damage cleaning from the first steps to the last. Water damage restoration can also be known as (1) water remediation, (2) water removal, (3) water extraction, (4) water mitigation, and (5) flood cleanup.

Sounding complicated? No need to stress; these terms are used interchangeably most of the time, but it’s good to understand the differences. Especially if you are talking with a few different disaster restoration companies.

Water can cause more than structural damage to your home. It can also present a serious health hazard. It doesn’t take long for standing water to breed mold and bacteria, pathogens that can cause severe respiratory illnesses, and other problems.

There are three categories of water damage

Clean water damage

Grey water damage

Black water damage

Clean water damage:-Category 1 water damage is water damage from broken pipes, overflowing sink, or rainwater. Health risks associated with category 1 water damage is low, provided, you respond to the situation in less than 48 hours.

On most occasions, overlooking the fact that water damage can cause major headaches if left unattended escalates the situation.

Category 1 water damage if left untreated for more than 48 hours gets exposed to different contaminants which can turn it into category 2 water damage.

Grey water damage:- Category 2 water damage involves “grey water.” This includes water from appliances like toilets, washing machines, and sump pump backups. While consuming or coming into contact with grey water may or may not be harmful to humans, it is important to remove any affected items and disinfect completely if your home has been struck by category 2 water damage, as the waste and chemicals in grey water may prove harmful down the line.

Black water damage:- Waters from sewers or water containing grease, oil, urine, etc are ideal examples of black water. Presumably, this water type hoards bacteria, viruses, and other toxic allergens, which makes it contagious.

The vulnerability of getting an infection or illness post direct or indirect exposure to black water is more than 90%. It is mandatory to exercise special caution when dealing with black water.
