Did you know that there are three types of water?  The first is “clean” water, which comes from condensation, rain, leaky pipes, and so forth.  Cleaning up this type of water is relatively harmless, but if you choose to seek an outside professional for damage cleanup, your cost will probably run around $3.75 per square foot.  The second type of water is gray water, which is slightly dirty water from washing machines, dishwashers, clean toilets and so on.  Gray water has the potential to have some contaminants.  It is possible to clean it up yourself if you do it carefully and with proper safety equipment to protect yourself.  Hiring a professional to remove gray water will cost around $4.50 per square foot.  The third type of water is black water.  This water comes from sewage or serious flooding from nearby bodies of water.  This water contains bacteria, waste and other serious contaminants.  You shouldn’t try to clean up black water as it can cause very serious health problems.  Water damage cleanup for black water rises to around $7.00 per square foot.  If you’re dealing with damage from black water, give SERVPRO® of East Greenville County a call.  We’re here to help!
