The 3 Types of Water Damage

The IIRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) outlines the three categories of water damage. By determining which category of water damage you are dealing with, your restoration company will know how to treat it.

Below are the three categories of water damage according to the IIRC:

• Category 1: Clean Water Damage – This is the least severe type of water damage. Clean water damage typically comes from broken pipes, water lines, and overflowing sinks or bathtubs. This water is sewage and toxin-free and can be easily dried.
• Category 2: Grey Water Damage – Grey water damage may be harmful to humans as it can contain waste and chemicals. It usually comes from sump pump backups, toilets, or washing machines. A property with grey water damage needs to be sanitized.
• Category 3: Black Water Damage – Black water damage is considered to be the most severe type of water damage. It often contains toxins, which can be incredibly harmful during and after exposure. Black water damage is usually caused by sewage, rising seawater, or ground water. After this water is removed, your home will need to be thoroughly sanitized to ensure your safety.
