Category 2 Gray Water Restoration
Gray water contains some level of contamination that can cause illness if ingested or exposed to skin. Sources include washing machines, dishwashers, sinks, and sump pump failures. Quick response is critical as gray water can degrade to black water within 48-72 hours.
- Rapid water extraction and removal
- Contaminated material assessment
- Antimicrobial treatment application
- Thorough structural drying
- Dehumidification and moisture control
- Prevention of category escalation
Common Gray Water Sources
- • Washing machine discharge
- • Dishwasher overflows
- • Sink drain backups
- • Aquarium leaks
- • Sump pump failures
- • Water bed punctures
Time Is Critical
Gray water left untreated for 48-72 hours can escalate to hazardous Category 3 (black water), increasing health risks and restoration costs significantly.
