Water damage can arise from various sources, including:

Water damage can be categorized into three primary types:
* Clean Water: Originates from a clean source, such as tap water or distilled water. This type of damage is less severe and typically poses no health risks.
* Gray Water: Contains contaminants from washing machines, dishwashers, or toilets. Gray water can spread bacteria and pose health hazards if not promptly addressed.
* Black Water: Extremely contaminated and originates from sewage, floodwater, or standing water. Black water carries harmful bacteria, mold, and other contaminants that require immediate attention.
Even a small amount of water can cause significant damage to your property. As little as 1/4 inch of standing water can warp flooring, promote mold growth, and damage drywall. It’s important to address water leaks or spills promptly to prevent further damage.
