    • Grey Water (Category 2) is water that has been used in a cleaning process and may contain contamination or soiling such as food, laundry soils, body soils and body oils. Grey water damage generally comes from things like appliances and spas.
    • Black Water (Category 3) (Sewage and Flood Waters) is the most serious type of water damage. This water typically comes from toilet, sewer and septic system back-ups or overflows. Black water is teeming with thousands of disease causing viruses, bacteria and protozoa and can cause very serious illnesses if not treated properly.
