Types of Water Damage

Water damage can occur in various forms, each with its unique challenges. Understanding the different types of water damage helps the experts at Mountain West Moldbusters determine the best treatment plan for you.

Here are a few of the most common types of water damage.

  • Clean water damage: This type of damage results from clean water sources like burst pipes or overflowing sinks. While the water may initially be clean, it can become contaminated if not addressed promptly.
  • Grey water damage: Grey water contains some contaminants, such as wastewater from dishwashers or washing machines. It may pose health risks and require prompt clean-up.
  • Black water damage: Black water is highly contaminated and includes sewage backup or floodwaters. It presents significant health hazards and demands immediate professional intervention.

What Causes Water Damage?

In addition to understanding the types of water damage, you should also know the source of the water damage. While any kind of water can damage your home, the following causes are the most common.

  • Plumbing issues: Plumbing issues are probably the most common sources of water damage. They can be caused by burst pipes, leaky faucets or drains, or sprinkler system malfunctions.
    Appliance malfunctions: Sometimes appliances break, which can cause leaks, especially from water lines.
  • Roof leaks: Roof leaks can cause a lot of damage to a home. You should attempt to fix roof leaks immediately, as long-term water damage can cause mold growth in your home.
  • Natural disasters: Floods and severe storms can cause extensive water damage throughout your home and require immediate clean-up efforts.
    Natural occurrences: Other natural events may be less severe than disasters, but rapid snow melts, or excessive rain can also cause water intrusion in your home.
  • Groundwater: If your water table is already high and the groundwater increases, water damage or flooding problems could occur.
    Sewage backups: No one wants to deal with a sewage backup, as this type of water damage can be hazardous and requires urgent professional help.

Our Water Damage Clean-Up Process

Now that you understand more about water damage, it is time to discuss how Mountain West Moldbusters can help you clean-up your home. Our three-step process will ensure that all the water is removed and your home is as good as new.

First, we assess the situation. This process could include peeling back the carpet, taking up padding, and finding other water sources. Then, we will remove the water from your home using pumps and fans to dry out and stabilize the situation.

Whether your home needs this next step will be determined by the Mountain West Moldbusters team, depending on the scope of the flooding. If there has been extensive water damage, we will likely recommend mold treatment because the likelihood of mold growth is high.
Finally, we will add new padding to your floors. We will also either dry out your existing carpet or replace the carpet based on your needs. Essentially, in this last step, we will put your home back to how it was before the water damage.

At Mountain West Moldbusters, your safety and comfort are our top priority. No matter the water damage in your home, we will take the job. Our transparent process and affordable pricing ensure that all our clients receive the water damage clean-up they need.
