Water Damage Restoration Houston

             Types of Water Damage

Category 1 water damage results from a clean water source, such as a burst water line, requires thorough extraction and drying. This type of water loss is typically reversible when help is called right away. Carpeting, personal belongings, and other soft goods can usually be dried and restored.

Category 2 water damage occurs when the water source is contaminated with chemical, physical, or biological elements that may cause illness. This type of water damage occurs when dishwashers or washing machines overflow, or sinks or toilets overflow. Category 2 water damage requires additional cleaning and decontamination steps be taken to prevent illness.

Category 3 water damage contains significant pathogens, and may cause serious illness or possibly death if ingested. This type of water loss occurs with sewage backups, floodwaters that enter your home, or water that has been stagnant for an extended period of time and may be growing bacteria.

Both Category 2 and Category 3 water damage can be dangerous, and it is important to leave cleanup and disinfection to the pros who have the equipment, training, and expertise to safely clean and restore your property.
