What are the three types of contaminated water?
Water of any type can quickly soak into the wood frame of your home, as well as other porous places such as your walls, cabinets, and even your furniture.
Any type of moisture that stays trapped too long in porous areas can cause mold growth. Contaminated water is a far more serious hazard because this categorization includes water from an unsanitary outside source, gray water (from dishwashers, washing machines, and sinks), and black water (from a toilet or sewer backup).
Contaminated water should be cleaned up by a company that is IICRC Certified. We are a cleaning and restoration firm that will help make your home clean after flooding or plumbing problems.
