Dealing With Black Water

4/1/2022 (Permalink)

Black water can be extremely dangerous to your health.

Did you know there are three categories of water damage? These include clean water, gray water and black water. Black water is the worst classification of water intrusion because it can cause health effects. Black water sources include sewer backup, flooding from rivers or streams, toilet overflow with feces, and stagnant liquid that has begun to support bacterial growth.
