Water Damage

If you’ve just experienced a water leak in your home or office, you could be facing anything from minor to serious water damages; either way, HiCaliber is there to mitigate your water damage through our highly trained licensed team.

Types of Water Damage

Water damage is typically classified into one of the following three categories.

1. Clear water: which refers to a source of water that does not pose substantial threat to humans. Examples are broken water supply lines, tub or sink overflows or appliance malfunctions that involve supply lines.
2. Gray water: which refers to a source of water that contains a significant degree of chemical, biological or physical contaminants and can cause discomfort or sickness through exposure or consumption. Gray water carries micro organisms and nutrients of micro organisms. Examples are toilet bowls with urine (no feces), sump pump failures, seepage due to hydrostatic failure and water discharge from dishwashers or washing machines. Category 2 water or gray water that is not promptly removed from the structure or has remained stagnant for 48-72 hours may be classified as Category 3 water.
3. Black water: which is grossly unsanitary and contains unsanitary agents, harmful bacteria and fungi. Black water causes severe discomfort or sickness from exposure to contaminated water sources that affect the indoor environment. This category includes water sources from sewage, rising water from river or streams, ground surface water or standing water. Toilet back flows that originate from beyond the toilet trap are considered black water contamination regardless of visible content or color.

Water Damage Problems

Wet areas left unchecked can turn into mold and quickly spread through the living space, leading to serious health consequences. Some of those consequences include mold allergies, characterized by watery, itchy eyes, a chronic cough, headaches or migraines, difficulty breathing, rashes and overall tiredness; other consequences are Sinus problems, nasal blockage and frequent sneezing. Mold creates an unsafe environment for you and your children or pets. If you experience any symptoms consult a health professional.

Water damage can come from a variety of situations, including water from the outside, flooding from the inside, long term leaks that go undetected and other unforeseen situations that may arise and result in water damage. Getting the structure dried down fast helps to prevent the creation of toxins like mold behind base boards, floors, walls and roofs.

When you are facing water damage, time is your enemy; quick action is the best way to deal with water damage and making the right decisions is critical. Let HiCaliber stop the spreading of mold in its tracks. Moving quickly will also help stop the attack of the destruction process such as rotting of wood, growth, rusting of steel, delaminating of materials such as plywood, carpet and many other items in your home or business.
