Water damage is typically classified into one of the following three types: Clean, Gray and Black.
Clean Water does not contain harmful contaminants. Clean water damage most commonly is from a busted pipe or rainwater.
Gray Water has some level of contamination in it. It could be when a household appliance that has a water supply line such as a dishwasher, refrigerator, or washing machine floods over.
Black Water has harmful contaminants and should not come in contact with your skin. Black water caused by overflows of toilet waste or sewer backups are more properly called Sewage Cleanup. Other black water can be the result of a flood from a natural disaster.
