Q: Are there multiple types of water damage?

There are three types of water damage, clean water, grey water, and black water. Clean water is usually associated with broken pipes and is less severe and easier to clean. Grey water, such as water from sump pump complications, may contain chemicals that are harmful to humans. This makes cleaning and disinfecting essential. Black water is the most severe and requires immediate action to prevent health concerns. It usually comes from flood water and may include sewage.
