How we handle different types of water damage
Clean water, grey water, black water
- Clean water from supply lines, if extracted quickly, usually needs drying and minor repairs.
- Grey water, like dishwasher discharge, needs sanitizing and may require removed materials.
- Black water such as sewage or floodwater is hazardous and requires specialized cleanup and content handling.
If you suspect contaminated water, do not attempt cleanup yourself. Call professionals who use proper personal protective equipment, containment, and waste disposal.
