Not all water damage is the same, and the difference matters more than you'd think.💧
Every water loss gets sorted into one of three categories, and that category tells you both the health risk of the water and how fast you need to act. Category 1 is clean water from a sanitary source, like a burst supply line or an overflowing tub.
Category 2 is gray water carrying real contamination, such as washer and dishwasher discharge or a sump pump failure. Category 3 is black water, such as sewage backups or storm flooding, and it's treated as a biohazard.
