More Information on Water Types
Water damage involves 3 different types of water. It’s useful to be able to identify and understand these categories as it will help both you and us know what precautions to take on-site. You should also be aware that without being treated, water will over time become more contaminated, changing category as it slowly turns into what’s classed as ‘black water’. So let’s take a look at the 3 categories of water damage.
Clean Water
In simple terms clean water is that which is used for drinking, washing, toilet flushing, cooking,and farm irrigation – in other words it’s come from a potable supply line. If the water has come into contact or passed through other areas it may have mixed with soils or contaminants from floor coverings, sub-flooring, walls, decking, and other building materials, making it non potable. ‘Clean water’ when left alone will over time become contaminated with bacteria and turn into ‘grey’ or ‘black’ water. Sources of clean water include the overflow of running taps, a bath, or a sink.
Grey Water
Grey water is that which is polluted and contains contaminants which make it unsafe for consumption. It contains harmful micro-organisms and nutrients which cause grey water to quickly turn black if it’s not attended to. This category of water is dangerous and is best left to a professional to clean up. Examples of grey water include: Overflow from a toilet containing some urine but no faeces. Water from household appliances such a dishwashers and washing machines. A punctured water bed or broken aquarium which contains chemically treated water. Water that is flowing from a hole in the roof and which has passed through ceiling insulation.
Black Water
This type of water is harmful to living things and could cause serious illness or death if consumed. Despite its name, the water doesn’t have to look black – it can be clear and may or may not smell. Substances the water may contain include pesticides, faeces, urine, pathogenic waste, bacteria, land other dangerous chemicals or micro-organisms. You should always call in a professional to deal with this type of water damage. Sources of black water include: Sewer water or back-up from a sewer. Rising water from streams, dams or rivers. Toilet water back- flow from beyond the toilet trap. Ground or surface water, sea water.
