What is water damage?

Water damage is presence of water where it shouldn’t be. It can be identified into three categories:

Category 1: No form of contamination is present in this water. This kind of damage usually happens due to leaky faucets or overflowing bathtubs/sinks.

Category 2: This water is also referred to as ‘grey water’ because of its polluted state. This water originates from your toilet bowls, washing machines etc.

Category 3: This is the most dangerous form of water damage because your property is infected with ‘black water,’ the most unsanitary kind. It is infested with biological and chemical impurities and comes from the sewers. It contains risky bacteria that can cause life-threatening diseases to its inhabitants.

The time factor:

Time is of the essence when you are suffering from a water damage calamity. Not acting fast is the quickest way to escalate the problem. If you think ignoring it will make it go away, then you are wrong! If anything else, it is getting worse with every passing minute.

Within 24-hours: Category 1 water starts seeping into permeable materials, such as carpets, flooring, furnishing etc.

After 24-hours: Category 1 water starts taking the form of Category 2 water as mold formation begins. Some materials can be saved and there will be others that will get completely damaged due to prolonged exposure to water.

By 72-hours: Category 1 & Category 2 water becomes Category 3, the longer you keep your property exposed to water and its debilitating effects. The structural integrity will start giving away and the bacteria proliferation will commence. In this case, your restoration expert will recommend evacuation for your own safety.
