Water damage is a common issue in homes and businesses that occurs when excessive moisture causes structural or cosmetic damage. It can be caused by a variety of factors such as flooding due to natural disasters, plumbing leaks, and even condensation.
There are two primary types of water damage:
This type of damage is caused by clean water, such as from a burst pipe or a leaking faucet. It can typically be cleaned up quickly and tends to cause less severe damage.
This type of damage is caused by water containing contaminants such as bacteria or sewage. It requires immediate attention as it can pose a health risk and can cause extensive damage if not addressed promptly.
This is the most severe type of water damage and is caused by water that is heavily contaminated with harmful bacteria and microorganisms. It requires extensive remediation and often involves removing and replacing damaged materials.
