Categories of water

Category 1: This is also known as clean water. This type of water does not pose any threat to your health. It can come from a sink, toilet tank, or hose. If this is left not taken care of, it can quickly turn into category 2 or 3. 

Category 2: Or gray water. Gray water contains microorganisms that can cause you to become sick if you ingest it. Water from sump pumps, toilet bowls, dishwashers and washing machines are some common sources of gray water. 

Category 3: Black water. This category of water is highly unsanitary and can cause serious illness if not taken care of properly. Sewage backups, water from rivers, and old standing water are common sources for black water. 

It's important that you get any water damage taken care of right away! Leaving standing water can cause much more damage than you would ever want!
