Water Classification
SERVPRO of San Diego City SW extracts all the water with pumps, specialized vacuums, dryers, and dehumidifiers. Cleaning and disinfection are the next steps. The types of cleaning and disinfection depend partially on the classification of water.
Clean (or White) Water
When it comes to water damage, “white water” does not mean a good place to take a kayak. This water does not have solid or liquid waste, soaps, detergents, or any pathogens. However, it still causes damage to building structures and home or business contents, but it does not contain anything that can cause illness to people.
SERVPRO of San Diego City SW still needs to extract the water; even distilled water causes damage. Standing water becomes contaminated quickly; within 24-48 hours, mold appears.
Gray Water
Despite the name, gray water may be any color, depending on where it came from. Gray water may contain soaps or detergents, flakes of human skin, or plant matter. Like clean water, it gets worse quickly.
Black Water
Don’t be fooled if the water doesn’t look black; it can still be in the most dangerous classification. Black water contains pathogens that cause diseases. Pathogens come from different sources, including sewage, fungi, and at times, viruses.
For answers to questions about water damage or classification, call (619) 269-5004, or go online.
