Water Types and You

4/19/2019 (Permalink)

When water damage occurs at a residence or business it is important to know the source of the water damage. The source will help to determine the water type. It is crucial to understand water types so the cleanup will be performed properly. There are 3 standard types of water classification.

• Clean Water,
• Grey Water
• Black Water.

Clean water is as it sounds. A water loss from a source producing clean water. Grey water is slightly contaminated water. Clean water can become grey water if it is left to sit untreated. When left untreated bacteria can begin to grow. Black water is highly contaminated water. Black water is dangerous and should always be handled by a trained professional.
