Clean water
- Where it comes from
- A broken supply line, a sink or tub left running, a failed water heater, rainwater entering through a roof or window.
- Health risk
- Low at first. The water itself carries no meaningful contamination when it leaves the pipe.
- How we handle it
- Fast extraction and drying. Most materials — including carpet, pad, and hardwood — can be saved if drying starts inside the first day.
Clean water does not stay clean. Sitting against drywall, subfloor, and dust, it degrades to Category 2 in about 48 hours. The clock is the reason we answer at 3 a.m.
