Understanding Water Damage Categories
Not all water damage is the same. The IICRC classifies water damage into three categories that determine the appropriate restoration approach.
Clean Water
From clean sources like broken water supply lines, toilet tanks, or rainwater. Safest to handle but still requires professional drying.
Grey Water
Contains contaminants from dishwashers, washing machines, or toilet overflow without feces. Requires protective equipment.
Black Water
Highly contaminated water from sewage, flooding, or standing water. Requires specialized protective gear and disposal protocols.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does water damage restoration take?
Most water damage restoration projects take 3-5 days for drying, plus additional time for repairs. The timeline depends on the extent of the damage, materials affected, and local humidity levels. We provide daily updates throughout the process.
Will my insurance cover water damage restoration?
Most homeowner's insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage. We work directly with all major insurance carriers and can help you navigate the claims process. Flood damage typically requires separate flood insurance.
What should I do immediately after water damage?
First, ensure safety — turn off electricity if water is near outlets. Then call us immediately at (267) 982-5504. Don't use regular household fans, as they can spread contamination. Avoid walking on wet carpet if possible.
Can you prevent mold after water damage?
Yes, proper and rapid water extraction and drying is the most effective way to prevent mold growth. Mold typically begins growing within 24-48 hours. Our rapid response and professional drying equipment significantly reduces mold risk.
