What's the difference in clean water, dirty water, and black water damage?
Clean water damage is classified as excess water in your home or business that is free of microorganisms. This type of damage usually includes leaks from plumbing fixtures or appliances. While the initial damage isn't a health hazard, ignoring it can result in mold or mildew growth that can affect your health. Clean water damage should be managed before mildew or mold growth begins. If the damage was extensive and absorbed into surrounding materials, the water likely affected its composition as well. West Tennessee Restoration is a professional clean-up and restoration company, specializing in these types situations.
Dirty water damage occurs when water containing microorganisms or other hazardous contaminants that can immediately cause negative health effects through contact or inhaling airborne water particles. The most common dirty water damage occurs when sump pump and toilet disperse contaminated water into your home or business. This can also occur from neighboring homes or businesses when their water enters your structure as well. Each circumstance is different, but dealing with dirty water is not something you should consider undertaking. West Tennessee Restoration's trained staff specializes in clean-up and restoration of these scenarios.
Black water damage is the most severe of the three. This type of water contains contaminants including microorganisms, sewage waste, as well as human or chemical waste.
