Understanding Water Damage Categories
Category 1 (Clean Water)
Water from clean sources like broken water supply lines or faucets. While initially clean, it can quickly degrade if left untreated.
Category 2 (Gray Water)
Water containing significant contamination. Sources include dishwasher or washing machine overflow, toilet overflow with urine but no feces.
Category 3 (Black Water)
Highly unsanitary water containing pathogens. Sources include sewage backup, flooding from rivers/streams, or standing water supporting microbial growth.
Common Causes of Water Damage
- Plumbing failures (burst pipes, leaking fixtures)
- Appliance malfunctions (water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines)
- Storm damage and flooding
- Roof leaks or ice dams
- Foundation cracks allowing water seepage
- HVAC system issues (condensation or drain problems)

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly should water damage be addressed?
Water damage should be addressed immediately. Within 24-48 hours, mold can begin to grow, and structural materials can become permanently damaged. Our emergency response teams are available 24/7 to minimize damage.
Will my insurance cover water damage?
Most homeowner policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, but not damage from long-term leaks or flooding. We work directly with insurance companies and can help you navigate the claims process.
How long does the water damage restoration process take?
The timeline varies based on the extent of damage and the affected materials. Minor water damage may be resolved in 3-5 days, while major damage can take 1-2 weeks or longer for complete drying and restoration.
Do I need to move out during the restoration process?
This depends on the extent of damage. For minor incidents, you may be able to stay in your home. For extensive damage or Category 2/3 water damage, temporary relocation may be necessary for health and safety reasons.
