Did you know water has different categories?

Even water from a clean source like a broken pipe can quickly change category if left unattended.

Water Types play a huge roll in how a professional will decide to tackle any water loss. Many people are not aware that water is categorized by the amount of pollutants it carries or that it picks up as it travels through materials. This is very important to note because as water dries up, these pollutants will be left behind or can even be blown around the area with air movement or foot traffic creating a potential hazarded to health and safety. Sometimes, it’s best to get rid of affected materials instead of drying them and risking your safety and the safety of others.
