Different Types of Water Damage
Did you know that three different types of water can cause damage to properties? They are:
Clean Water
Clean water does not create immediate risks to health. This includes water damage caused by leaky taps and overflowing baths and sinks. However, it can encourage mould and bacteria growth from the contaminants it picks up.
Grey Water
Grey water is unsanitary water that contains some degree of contamination, such as faecal matter from toilets. Sources of grey water include baths, toilets, showers and washing machines. If left untreated, grey water can turn into black water (see below). Handling grey water should only be done when wearing proper protective gear.
Black Water
Black water is the most contaminated type of water and can be very harmful to humans. It contains pathogens, toxins, human waste and more. Sources of black water include sewer backup, toilets, broken sewage pipes, rising river water and dishwashers.
Because it is considered highly contaminated with chemicals, pesticides and disease-causing organisms, it is recommended that you hire professionals to clean up and decontaminate areas safely.
The Problem With Water Damage
One of the problems we face in Brisbane is that of flooding, tremendous inundations of water from time to time. Flood water is known as black water because of what’s in it, sewer backup, rising river water, dirt, debris, soil and silt. In addition to severe property damage, extended exposure to black water can cause infections and long-term respiratory problems.
While natural disasters such as floods can cause extensive damage, so too can a host of manmade problems such as faulty plumbing, sink overflow, sewerage spill and cracked or frozen pipes.
Mopping up the wet areas and drying them with fans can certainly help matters, but ultimately will not solve the problem. That’s because the damp remains, and water seeps into wall cavities, both perfect conditions for the growth of mould spores and bacteria.
They do not go away of their own accord, so you’re left with a damp odour throughout the property, and worse, eventually, the structure of your home may be compromised. Among the other problems caused by untreated flood water are:
- Rotting foundations.
- Corrosion of electrical wires and equipment.
- Contaminated residue on internal and external building surfaces.
Water damage can also be deceptive as water can spread rapidly through rooms and buildings, creating pockets of moisture in areas that aren’t visible.
Whenever there’s water damage, we advise calling in the professionals as soon as you can. As a general rule, the sooner trained experts are called, the more water can be extracted, the faster the drying time and the less secondary damage. This decreases restoration costs and protects your property from further damage.
The experts at Pro Carpet Cleaning Brisbane respond immediately and use advanced equipment and techniques to remove the water quickly.

How Our Water Damage Restoration Service Works
Water restoration or water flood damage clean-up is a multi-stage technical process. Call us anytime for advice on how to manage a water damage incident in your home or business premises. Our team of experts is available 24/7. If it is urgent, our emergency response team will be with you within 2 to 5 hours.
When we first arrive at your premises, we will conduct a thorough inspection to identify all affected areas. The next step is to remove all the standing water from floors, carpets and other affected materials. This can take a few hours or several days, depending on the amount of water.
Once this process is complete, we use moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to check the extent of the water damage. Then we will install our specialist drying equipment to dry out the structure and belongings completely. Finally, we’ll clean the affected areas and compile a written report for your insurers.
