So How Alarmed Should You Be When You Find Water Damage in Your Home? 

All water damage is potentially harmful, but there are two key aspects to consider: how long the water has been sitting there and what type of water it is. To understand the types of water damage, consider the following:

• Clean water- typically comes from water heaters or a pipe, and its bacteria load is less concerning. 
• Gray water can come from an appliance such as your washing machine or dishwasher but may contain chemicals and waste.
• Black water usually comes from outside the home following a storm or a sewage issue. It can require extensive cleanup and remediation.
