Three Categories of Flood Water
Category 1-Clean
Water refers to flooding from a source of water that does not pose any threat to humans. This is typically a water supply line from a hot water heater, faucets supply line, dishwasher supply line, washing machine supply line, toilet supply line, and other supply lines in the walls.
Category 2-Grey Water
Refers to flooding from a source of water that contains a significant degree of biological, chemical, or physical contaminants and usually come from toilet bowls with urine, water discharge from dishwashers or washing machines, sump pump failures and other water that should go through the sanitation system.
Category 3-Black Water
Refers to flooding from an extremely unsanitary source which contains harmful bacteria and fungi. Category 3 flood damage will usually come from sewage back up in your toilet or sink. Other sources include seawater, rising water from rivers or streams, ground surface water entering your home or standing category 2 water that is not promptly removed and left standing for 48-72 hours.
