Water damage and floods can happen at any time; that’s the nature of disasters. Our emergency services, therefore, are open any time. Don’t worry about the time of day when you call because we are always available.

Definitions

All flood damage is water damage, but not all water damage is flood damage.

Categories of Water Damage:

1, or “clean water”, comes from supply lines, faucets, and other sources that typically aren’t contaminated. We clean it with extraction, drying, and dehumidification.

2, or “gray water”, comes from dishwasher leaks, sump pump failures, and other sources that can include some contamination. We are careful to decontaminate the area and use disinfectants.

3, or “black water” comes from sewage, standing water, rain, or other sources that may be contaminated by pathogens, heavy metals, or toxins. Water from unknown sources is assumed to be Category 3. When we treat Category 3 water, we wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and treat the area with disinfectants before people without safety gear can enter the area.

Flood water is always Category 3.

Secondary Damage

The damage from the water is the primary damage, but that is rarely (as in “never”) the only damage from a flood. There is also:

• Dirt, mud, other debris carried by the water
• Mold, mildew, other microbial growth
• Any pathogens already in the water
• Odors

Floods are not necessarily coastal disasters; they may also be:

• Burst sewer lines
• Other water mains
• Unexpected or unusual rainfall
• Dam overflow

Reasons You Don’t Have to Worry

All that alarming information may cause you to curl up and hide under your desk, but there are reasons not to despair:

• We are Faster to any disaster – speed means we’ll get you back to business sooner rather than later
• We have IICRC certifications in restoration from water damage, cleaning and restoration, and structural drying
• No damage is too large or too small for our teams

Trivia

The study of crop circles is “cereology” – great name! Never mind that the original pranksters revealed themselves in 1991.
