Water damage can occur very quickly or very slowly depending on the situation.

An example of water damage happening quickly is a flooding event which can cause serious damage to property and homes. Water damage happening slowly can mean such things as rotting wood, mold growth or damage that has been caused by rusting of steel or iron.

There are actually 3 types of water classification and they all have their own properties - these are clean, grey and black.

Clean water is that which is safe for human consumption and does not pose a health risk. An example of this is drinking water.

Grey water is that which has been contaminated by chemicals or biological components.

Black water is when it contains significant amount of bacteria, fungus or polluting materials and quite often has a bad smell. An example of this would be sewage.
