You may be surprised at the number of homeowners that are under the impression that all water damage is the same. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Part of eliminating and restoring water damage is understanding what kind of damage it is in the first place. The following are the three most common kinds of water damage you will find in your home due to flooding, storm damage, drainage issues that should lead you to call a professional Kamloops construction restorer immediately.
Clean Water Damage
This water damage is found when an appliance in the home like a water faucet, toilet, or sink has issues and causes flooding. The water has usually been filtered in this case, so there aren’t usually substances in the water that can cause health concerns. Even the cleanest water can wreak havoc on a structure though if not treated correctly.
Grey Water Damage
Grey water damage is similar to clean water damage, but it may have some contaminants in it that could cause issues. You will usually find this damage from unflushed toilets, dishwashers, and washing machines. Grey water damage comes from water that has been used.
Black Water Damage
This is the most dangerous form of water damage when it comes to sanitation. It is often found from natural water like streams and rivers, flooded sewers, and stagnant water that has been sitting for an extended period. If you are experiencing any of these forms of water damage, contact Kamloops Construction professionals, Thomspon’s Valley Restoration DKI, to eliminate the issue.
