24-HOUR EMERGENCY WATER EXTRACTION SERVICES

Types of Water Removal Emergency Situations

Water removal and extraction emergencies are classified into three categories based on the severity of water damage, which can result from various sources such as heavy rains, leaky roofs, broken pipes, appliance failures, sewage backups, and more. It’s crucial to consider the cause of the water damage when drying out a home or business. Our water removal and cleanup specialists use different techniques and equipment tailored to each category to ensure thorough extraction. These categories include:

Category 1 Clean Water Damage

This water emergency involve clean and sanitary water sources like water lines, faucets, showerheads, and sometimes rainwater. It’s safe for human consumption and poses no immediate health risks.

Category 2 Grey Water Damage

This water emergency involves sources with a moderate level of contaminants that could lead to illness if exposed to. Examples include water from dishwashers, washing machines, and toilet tanks, which harbor high levels of microorganisms potentially harmful to health.

Category 3 Black Water Damage

This involves water from highly unsanitary sources like sewage, rivers, or stagnant water bodies, containing harmful contaminants that could lead to severe illness or even death if consumed or exposed to.
