Hull & East Yorkshire
Not all water damage is clean water. When sewage, drain water or floodwater gets in, it has to be cleared, sanitised and dried by people set up to handle it safely.
Water is graded by how contaminated it is, from clean water through grey water to black water. Anything past clean carries bacteria and needs proper handling: removal, disposal of soaked materials, sanitising and documented drying.
Grey water from appliances and showers, black water from sewage and flooding, and biohazard situations. Each is handled to the level of risk it carries, so the property is left safe.
When Hull floods, the water that comes up is rarely clean, carrying drain and surface contamination into homes. We treat flood water as contaminated and clean accordingly.
Contact with drains, sewage, the ground or floodwater. Grey water carries some risk, black water carries a lot, and both need proper cleaning.
It can carry bacteria and should not be handled without the right precautions. We clear and sanitise it safely, then dry the property.
Porous materials soaked by contaminated water usually cannot be saved and are removed and recorded for your claim.
