How Water Damages Buildings
One reason that water damage remediation is a significant undertaking is that water causes different types of damage. There are three broad categories that experts use to classify and diagnose issues from water damage:
- Clean: This means that the water came from a freshwater pipe or some other source of potable water. This is usually the easiest type of damage to remediate since there are no harmful bacterial issues to worry about. The main concern is the physical damage.
- Gray: This is the wastewater that comes from the drainage of baths, showers, washing machines, and sinks. Restoring this type of water damage requires more work and attention to ensure the disinfection of microbes.
- Black: This is true sewage water, and it can contain high levels of toxic bacteria, chemicals, and pesticides. This is the damage associated with a sewer line back–up, and it requires extensive and careful work to remediate.
Hire Professionals to Handle Water Damage
Whether you’re a homeowner or business owner, you cannot clean up extensive water damage yourself. Water affects everything it touches: it can ruin HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems along with rapidly destroying common building materials such as drywall and plaster.
Water also creates lingering trouble with mold and mildew growth that can inflict further damage to building materials. Unless you’re a trained water remediation specialist, you won’t know the various codes and regulations that must be followed. Simply put, there’s no way to just “mop up” after major flooding! You instead need to contact experts.
