Types of Water Damage

There are three main types of water damage with varying levels of severity – category 1, 2, or 3. Here’s how to tell which type you have:

  • Category 1, or “sanitary water”: The least concerning category because the water itself does not pose a health risk, sanitary water often comes from a water supply line.
  • Category 2, or “gray water”: Water from this category can make people sick. Examples include leaking dishwashers, overflowing toilets with urine, and broken aquariums.
  • Category 3, or “black water”: Black water can cause serious illness if touched or consumed. Sewage leaks and waste line backflows are two of the most frequent sources of category 3 water damage.

Water Damage FAQs

We take every water damage situation seriously, even those that might seem minor at first. We’ve seen how untreated moisture, no matter how small, can lead to hidden problems like structural damage, mold growth, and health concerns. 

By addressing the issue promptly, we can help reduce the extent of cleanup and repairs needed, saving you additional stress and expense.

While a small leak might appear manageable, we know from experience that even minimal water exposure can escalate into significant issues without proper treatment and thorough drying. 

Untreated water damage can leave you with all sorts of issues, such as:

  • Damaged or rotting structural components
  • Mold and mildew growth
  • Pest infestations
  • Electrical damage
  • Health and safety risks

 

So let us help you prevent a small problem from becoming a major crisis.

Since mold thrives in damp environments, it is a very common problem for homes and businesses with leaks or water damage.

It only takes mold around 24-48 hours to begin growing, and the longer you wait to seek repairs, the more likely you are to run into mildew or other fungi. Over time, the mold spores can cause a whole host of health problems such as:

  • Stuffy nose
  • Sore throat
  • Skin rashes
  • Allergic reactions
  • Asthma attacks
  • Coughing or wheezing
 

Water extraction is the process of using specialized equipment to remove large amounts of water from your home or business. Professional companies typically use pumps, vacuums, and drying systems that remove excess water and moisture. At BCC Restoration, our process includes:

  • Mitigating damage: Our technicians always begin by removing any standing water to prevent as much damage as possible. Once all of the standing water is removed, we will start removing any wet surfaces such as walls, flooring, or ceilings to help with the drying process. 
  • Dry and dehumidify the area: At BCC Restoration, we only use the highest quality drying equipment. From dehumidifiers and air movers to heaters and wood floor drying equipment, we have any tools you could need to quickly dry the air, increase circulation, and promote evaporation. 
  • Damage and mold inspection: Once everything is thoroughly dry, a certified technician will perform a meticulous inspection to check for hidden moisture or mold. If we discover any mold, we will dispatch our mold removal team to handle it quickly and effectively. 
  • Perform restorations: With the area now dry and mold-free, we can begin our restoration process. Our team has decades of experience in repairing homes and businesses back to normal – or in many cases, better than it was before the water damage.
 

Water damage might be covered by your insurance policy.

At BCC Restoration, we understand how stressful it can be to navigate the ins and outs of homeowners insurance. That’s why we take the time to walk you through all billing and communication with your insurance company. Our team will go to bat for you and your home as if it were our own.

 

IICRC certification comes from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration. It’s a globally recognized credential that signifies a high level of expertise and adherence to industry standards in the inspection, cleaning, and restoration sectors.

To become certified, technicians must undergo rigorous training, pass comprehensive examinations, and commit to ongoing education to stay current with the latest industry advancements.

For water damage restoration, this certification focuses on the proper procedures for mitigating water damage, including extraction, drying, and dehumidification, to prevent secondary issues like mold growth.

 

The best way to fix water damage is to call a restoration company and implement strategies to prevent future water disasters.

Absolutely. While the initial cost of professional water damage restoration might seem significant, it’s a small price to pay compared to the long-term consequences of improper cleanup. Untreated water damage can lead to devastating mold growth within 24-48 hours, potentially causing thousands of dollars in additional repairs and serious health issues for your family or employees.
